Michael Bisping withdraws from UFC 149

The UFC has lost yet another key matchup. Seriously.

UFC officials announced late Wednesday night that British middleweight Michael Bisping has suffered an injury in training and has been forced to withdraw from a planned matchup with Tim Boetsch (15-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC) at UFC 149.

In his place now steps Hector Lombard (31-2-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who had been expected to headline UFC on FOX 4 against Brian Stann, who on Wednesday also withdrew from injury.

UFC 149 takes place July 21 at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo headlines against title challenger Erik Koch.


Saw him at the SENI on the weekend. He looked fine to me :yep
And yet another in a long line of injured fighters....

 

The Count ducks The Barbarian lolz

 

I think we should start getting shocked when someone doesnt pull out of a fight

 

its getting ridiculous at this stage

 

they seen what happened to overeem they're running scared

 

Hmmm...may be onto something here :think

 

I'd like to see Bisping fight Franklin later this year.

I think that would be fun.

 

bad run of events, but tim will trade...could still be fun

 

Very mediocre card,at best.Poor ****ers in Calgary paying bucks for this .

 

Damn WTF is going on first my boy vitor gets hurt then thiago silva, brian stann now bispingatsch

 

Just as well for Bisping , Boetsch matches Bisping very well IMO and would of beaten him

 

We have seen every major fight from the end of the year rescheduled. This might be unprecidented. It is interesting to see how the UFC bounces back because quite honestly I'd rather see Boestch vs Lombard anyway. That has fight of the night written all over it.

 

It's the UFC's fault for giving them free insurance...

Since then fighters have been injured all over the place!
