Rashad Evans and Thiago SilvaOne after another, fighters dropped from the card, matchups were erased and critics complained.

UFC 108, they said, was cursed.

How bad did the "curse" get? Even UFC matchmaker Joe Silva, who was left scrambling several times trying to fill holes in the card, blew out the medial collateral ligament in his knee in the days before the event.

Paul Daley’s Excuse Doesn’t Cut It

Michael David Smithby Michael David Smith

Filed under: UFC

After knocking out Dustin Hazelett on Saturday, Paul Daley explained away his failure to make weight on Friday by saying he missed a day and a half of his weight cut because of a travel snafu.

That excuse doesn't cut it. If Daley had no history of missing weight, I could maybe -- maybe -- see using a travel problem as a reason for coming in over. But Daley does have a history of missing weight. After stepping on the scale at 172 for Friday's weigh-in, Daley has now missed weight in three of his last six fights: He came in at 171.5 for MFC 20 in February of 2009 and at 174 for MFC 19 in December of 2008.
