PrintLuiz Alves speaks To Tatame:
"I had visited him at Christmas and then in January, but I left very sad and swore I wouldn’t return there anymore. He was swollen, very thin... But I was there yesterday and left very happy, because he spoke with me, remember everything that happened, kissed me", revealed Luiz. "He is already in the ward, it’s better because he can watch TV now, he’s doing physiotherapy, is eating well and is excited".
This is excellent news in that Ribeiro was very close to death after the motorcycle accident a couple of months ago. Although, his fighting career is likely over, it's still great to know that he'll be around to share his life with family and friends. We here at MMA4Real continue to wish him a speedy recovery.

"Those Who Follow The Crowd Usually Get Lost In It"
![From MMAJunkie.com:
Strikeforce heavyweight and former NFL great Herschel Walker (1-0 MMA, 1-0 SF) suffered a deep cut in training and has been forced to withdraw from next month's "Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu" event.
Strikeforce officials today confirmed the change with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Featuring a light heavyweight matchup between Dan Henderson and Renato "Babalu" Sobral, "Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu" takes place Dec. 4 and airs on Showtime.
"I feel terrible about this," Walker stated in today's official release. "I know things like this happen in all sports, but I had trained very hard and was excited to be returning to the cage again."
Walker had been expected to face one-time WEC veteran Scott Carson (4-1 MMA, 0-0 SF).
According to Strikeforce officials, a Daniel Cormier knee strike opened a "deep cut under [Walker's] left eye that required multiple stitches"...
Despite the setback, Walker said he hopes to return to action quickly.
"I hope to fight again as soon as the cut heals," Walker said.](http://cdn3.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/161814/herschel-walker-2_small.jpg)
