A number of mma sites are reporting that Thiago Silva has pulled out of the fight due to a back injury. Its going to be difficult to find good replacement as its difficult enough finding a opponent for Machida as it is.
Are these guys all lifting beer kegs with their backs or something? I'd think that core conditioning would have these guys' backs strong as hell, but damn, they seem to all get injured somehow. Back injuries suck too because it's not like you can do ANYTHING when you're back is ****ed. It's not like having a broken wrist where you can do cardio to stay in shape. Lame.
