Cavaliers to beef up security<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nCould LeBron James\u2019 first game in Cleveland since blowing town rival the Malice at the Palace? The Cavaliers seem to think so. They will have dozens of extra police offers, some in uniform and some undercover, on hand for the Heat\/Cavs game on December 2. Some will be positioned near the Heat bench and at the tunnel where they enter the court.<\/p>\n
Arena officials will also confiscate any anti-LeBron signs or clothing worn by anyone arriving at the game. They\u2019ll hand out Cavs T-shirts to wear instead. Seems like Cleveland already has the situation under control. But you have to admit \u2013 that\u2019s a tiny bit disappointing, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

So far, no information has been released detailing what his problem is, be it physical, mental or legal. In case you\u2019re wondering – -yes, he is related to former NFL quarterback Mark Rypien.

UFC news: Jose Aldo pulls out of UFC 125 title defense; Herschel Walker off Strikeforce card<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you\u2019re a big UFC fan, this news stings. Featherweight Jose Aldo is considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world among many pundits, right up there with Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva. When the UFC and WEC merged, Aldo got moved up to the big leagues and became the UFC\u2019s first ever featherweight champion.<\/p>\n
We were slated to see him make his UFC debut on New Year\u2019s Day, but it isn\u2019t happening. During training for his bout with Josh Grispi, Aldo suffered a compacted vertebrae, causing tingling in both his arms. He\u2019s reportedly out three months.<\/p>\n
Former NFL star Herschel Walker won his first fight with Strikeforce and was slated to fight next week but had to pull out due to injury this week. He suffered a cut during training that required seven stitches to close and won\u2019t be sufficiently healed by December 4, when he was supposed to face Scott Carson.<\/p>\n
