Mma Times Alves is a huge and early cessation
Alves has been enormous in two ways. It looked like it was 190 only very roughly to the fight. Then he connected with Matt Hughes finished with a knee high. Referee Dan Miragliotta comes up big again with a stop at the beginning of the fight with Brandon Vera Fabricio Werdum cons.
Citing Vera "There were 15 seconds left. Let me take my ass whooping and enter the second round."
Then Vera was just waiting on the next round and I doubt we will see a resumption of fighting.

Miguel Torres wants one more fight this year
Torres AM: "They still have a couple of guys there. They Tapia, Brian Bowles, but it is still so new. I hope they give him a few fights before putting it out there with me, but he's a pretty difficult guy Greg Jackson's camp, I think his name is Damacio Page. They Dominick Cruz, he fights at 135 now, so there are guys out there. They have more Japanese guys. I guy in front of me waiting. I think in a few years, I will go by weight, but for now I will stay at 35 and try to take care of business .... I told them that I would go early December. I want to fight at least by December. I want at least one more this year. I want to stay active. I do not stay out of the game too long. I want to be there and take care of business. "Personally, I do lose Torres soon. This guy is just sick and dangerous. He probably just does not want to get the ring rust. But it was very interesting to note that Torres said he could climb. My mouth water just thinking of Uriah Faber vs. Miguel Torres. Figures UFC UFC and JAKKS Pacific to come together to UFC Action Figures.
