-The UFC's bantamweight division suffered two major blows today, as both Dominick Cruz and Raphael Assuncao revealed that they've suffered injuries in training. Cruz suffered an ACL injury on his right knee, the opposite of the knee for which he went through two ACL procedures during his three year layoff. Assuncao, meanwhile, suffered a broken ankle.

-The UFC has inked a new television deal in Canada which will bring them to several platforms with TSN, RDS, and The Fight Network. Head to the mobile site for more details on the deal and comments from UFC, TSN, and TFN reps.

-C.B. Dollaway says he was “basically paralyzed” by the body kick from Lyoto Machida at UFC Fight Night 58, and he's hoping that the pain wasn't any more than because of the liver shot. Catch his post-fight comments with further thoughts on the mobile site.
