– Alan Belcher has announced on Twitter that he has been cleared to return to UFC action and is looking to fight soon against top competition. Belcher has been sidelined since a detached retina suffered in training sidelined him prior to his September 2010 fight with Demian Maia.

– Josh Koscheck will be sidelined at least six months from UFC action as he recovers from surgery that repaired a broken orbital suffered in his Dec. 11 loss to welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre at UFC 124.

– Paulo Thiago has been forced to withdraw from his UFC on Versus 3 fight against Johny Hendricks with an undisclosed injury less than one day after the welterweight matchup was made official for the March 3 event in Louisville.
