“The Ultimate Fighter” season nine winner James Wilks announced his retirement from MMA after doctors advised him he could become paralyzed if he continued to fight.
Wilks had a serious knee injury that kept him out of the Octagon. His last bout was a loss to Claude Patrick in October of 2010. When that healed, a neck injury from his rugby-playing days flared up and Wilks realized how serious previous warning signs were.
“I had problems in a couple of the fights that I didn’t really talk about,” he said. “In one of the fights, I got hit, and the whole left side of my body went numb, all the way down to the toes.”
Even with the doctors’ warnings, Wilks called the decision difficult, particularly because he went out on a loss. He went 1-2 in the UFC after beating DaMarques Johnson in the TUF finale. As more fighters age, they will be faced with the issue of retirement. Kudos to Wilks for being strong enough to walk away before he was damaged permanently.

Here’s the latest fights to be made, just for you:
– Erik Koch and UFC featherweight champ Jose Aldo put on their best Member’s Only jackets and headed to the mountains to officially announce their bout at UFC 149 in Calgary.
– After UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz and pulled out of their July 7 bout, Urijah Faber will still fight at UFC 148. His opponent is still to be determined, and interim title belt will be on the line.
– Ronda Rousey has a date for her first championship defense, kinda. She will fight Sarah Kauffman in August, but an exact date and location has not yet been announced.
– In what is already my favorite match-up of the summer, Siyar Bahadurzada is stepping in to face Thiago Alves at UFC 149. Yoshihiro Akiyama had to pull out of the bout with Alves after an undisclosed injury.
– Days after UFC on Fox 3, heavyweight bouts were added to UFC on Fox 4 in Los Angeles. Matt Mitrione will fight Rob Broughton and Oli Thompson will fight Phil De Fries.
Care to make predictions on any of these bouts? Go for it in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.

Louis Gaudinot became known for his green hair while a castmember on “The Ultimate Fighter,” but it got a bit out of hand on Saturday night at UFC on Fox 3. He won his bout over John Lineker by submission and the Fight of the Night bonus, but his long, thick, green hair became the focus of the bout. Dana White even joked that is was time for a cut.
Gaudinot told MMA Junkie Radio that he’s thinking of cutting his hair, but he’ll still keep it green.
“I was thinking about cutting it before the fight,” Gaudinot said. “I’m kind of used to the long hair now, but I think I might have to cut it just for the next fight so it doesn’t get in my face.”
I can’t understand why he would want to do that.
It’s not like it got in his eyes.
Or made it easier for judges to tell when he got punched.
Yeah, on second thought, visiting a barbershop may not be such a bad idea, Louis.

One of the great things about a worn down track is the help from ruts and berms. Sure they can make things difficult, but they essentially help us keep our speed up in the corners. Just like in NASCAR, the angled surface allows the bike to lean over and still find plenty of traction. However, [...]

Strikeforce middleweight contender is waiting on a date, time, and place for his expected fight with champion Luke Rockhold. While he has the time, he’s working on his acting chops. Is it just me, or does he make a convincing “Black Swan?” He already did a great job as Katy Perry, so what else do we want to see Kennedy try? He seems to be a fan of costumes, so Scarlett O’Hara from “Gone with the Wind?” Capt. Willard from “Apocalypse Now” could bring in both his military background and love of make-up. If Strikeforce keeps him (inexplicably) on ice much longer, Kennedy will be up for an Academy Award soon.

Though the weekend was dominated by the UFC fights on Fox, there were plenty of other fights over the weekend, including this quick knockout Michael Chandler pulled off at Bellator:
In his first fight since beating Eddie Alvarez for the Bellator lightweight title, Chandler needed just 0:56 to TKO Akihiro Gono. After the bout, Gono said he was retiring from his 18-year MMA career that included bouts in Pride, the UFC, Sengoku and Bellator.
In other Bellator action, Bryan Baker earned a trip to the welterweight tourney final with a decision over Ben Saunders. Heavyweight Damian Grabowski decisioned Dave Huckaba in a bout that registered as less-than-exciting, and Ryan Ford TKOed Luis Santos in the second round.
On “The Ultimate Fighter,” Urijah Faber won the most important event: the Coaches Challenge. He beat Dominick Cruz in an obstacle course that involved the use of a grenade launcher. Afterwards, Andy Ogle beat Mike Rio with a rear naked choke to give Team Faber five fighters in the quarterfinals. Next week, James Vick will face Joe Proctor and Justin Lawrence will take on Michael Chiesa in the first quarterfinal bouts.
At Super Fight League, (go ahead and sing the song) James Thompson beat Bobby Lashley in a unanimous decision. Zelg Galesic scored the weekend’s memorable moment with a flying knee knockout of Doug Marshall.

Two weeks before making his Fox debut against Josh Koscheck, Johny Hendricks stopped by the track to check in with NASCAR’s finest. Here he is showing a beard that awesome cannot be contained in a helmet while talking to Tony Stewart. Do you think Stewart, a well-known problem child on the racing circuit, gave Hendricks some trash-talking tips? Tell us what he said in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.
