Ok, I have been looking for an update but must have missed it.

Still, why the 8 months off between fights for the Champ of a new division?

That seems to be pretty close to the norm for UFC champs. (Usualy 6 months between fights) The extended layoff above the 6 months is probably due to the Penn/Pulver fight - most likely a #1 contended fight. That way their schedules run about the same length between fights instead of having a fighter go on short notice or a extended layoff.

You mean you have no idea how Mixed Martial Arts works?

Well, it's a combination of boxing, jit-jitsu, brazilian jit-jitsu, wrestling, kickboxing, muay thai, sambo, tae kwon do, karate, sumo, and just about every other mixed martial art or "mma".

Basically, you can't strike at the groin, eye gouge, manipulate small joints (trying to break fingers), try to open cuts more, curse at your opponent while fighting, hit your opponent in the back of the head, and almost everywhere now, you cannot knee or kick an opponents head while they are on the ground.

If you need some more clarification, just feel free to ask.

Is there any word on when he defends the title, vs who, and when???

He had a torn rotator cuff even before the Kenflo fight. He's been out because he needed to have surgery/rehab

Oh, I was wondering why you would come to an mma forum and not know anything about it. lol

You're best bet would be to look in your phone book under martial atrs.
