When Dan Hardy's stomach tattoo disappeared on UFC 111's poster a lot of people asked, why?
Some thought Zuffa had used an older photograph but the more paranoid fans believed that the UFC airbrushed the tattoo out as it was a Tibetan prayer, and the UFC is trying to enter the Chinese market, and the Communists have an "interesting" past with Tibet.
Guess who was right? Why, the paranoid fans of course!
At UFC 111's Q&A in Toronto Dana White confessed that Zuffa had indeed removed the tattoo:
"I'm trying to get into China," he told fans at a question-and-answer session Tuesday. "I don't need anti-Chinese government stuff on my fighters."
Ah, the almighty dollar.
Google rebelled against China's censorship so at least we know that the UFC has less balls than Google. Clearly Google "wants to be a f***ing business!"

Makes sense because on the 2nd episode of primetime they had some video of a younger skinner Dan Hardy training with monks in the mysterious land of Chyna.
