Gegard Mousasi has suffered a shoulder injury from his grappling exhibition with Fedor at M-1: Breakthrough last month in Kansas City which means he is out of DREAM 11′s October 6th super-hulk tournament and his bout with Thierry Sokodjou.

UFC has signed a deal with British channel FIVE for highlights of previous UFC events, and showcase up and coming bouts in a show titled “UFC: Main Event”. The first episode will feature Randy Couture vs Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and other UFC 102 bouts on Monday, September 14, 2009 at midnight. Hopefully this forces US TV execs to take note, and perhaps we can get even more free MMA!
