I Really Hope Thiago Alves ….

… gets well and everything works out for him.

Just in case you don’t know what and who I’m talking about:

Thiago Alves is the 26 year old Brazilian MMA fighter who was supposed to fight tonight in UFC 111 against fellow welterweight fighter, Jon Fitch.

Both fighters are considered among the very best this weight class has to offer.

And just today I heard the shocking announcement that Thiago Alves was taken off the fight card because of a so-called brain irregularity found in a CAT scan.

Tonight’s UFC 111 events take place in New Jersey and from what I learned their State Athletic Commission did not give their O.K. to Dana White’s team to let Thiago fight and show off his superb Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills in The Octagon.

Of course, Thiago will undergo further tests next week to determine what the next steps will be. This is a real bummer.

I really hope Thiago Alves gets well and everything works out for him whatever a successful future has in store for him.
