During Tuesday’s appearance on Sirius XM Fight Club, Sonnen told Ariel Helwani that he was already preparing for UFC 112…just in case.With yesterday’s shocking news that Vitor Belfort suffered a shoulder injury that would force him to pull out of his title bout against champion Anderson Silva, many are wondering if Sonnen will step in and save the UFC’s debut extravaganza in Abu Dhabi.Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports spoke to Keith Kizer, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, and was told that Sonnen can’t resume sparring until March 9th and can’t get cleared to fight any earlier than March 24th due to a cut on his forehead.Asking Sonnen to fight the world’s baddest middleweight on such a quick turnaround is a lot to ask of anyone, making the Team Quest-trained fighter do it without being able to go 100 percent until a couple weeks before showtime is insane.The question is, would Sonnen take a shot at the golden ticket right now just because the opportunity has presented itself?My assumption is that Sonnen will step up to the plate as a title shot against “The Spider” in his prime would be too hard to pass up. 1 Alabama, the Kentucky contest will provide anything but that?a contest.But as we all know, the classic trap game has been a common enemy of every team since the advent of the sport, including the Gators near misses in both of their recent Championship runs (see 2008's Ole Miss "Promise" game, and the 2006 Auburn "fumble/no fumble" contest).

So, that was kind of my message to him."Source: Canton Repository This article is also featured on GridironFans . That is, of course, the league avoids another players strike.. He was drafted in 2008, and many IDP owners thought he would be an impact player heading into the 2009 season So far Avril hasn't done much. That isridiculous when you are supposed to be an NHL goaltender; Niemi was pulled after one period.What do the 'Hawks do now? Do they start Niemi most of the time? Start Huet most of the time? Or do the two mediocre journeymen split time?If the 'Hawks expect Lord Stanley's hardware to be placed in their hands later this season, or anytime in the future for that matter, they need to find a REAL viable goalie option.Past Stanley Cup winners have had great goalies Last season, the Penguins had Fleury.
