    Alessio Sakara's rematch with Patrick Cote has been pulled from the UFC 158 card after it was revealed that the Italian is suffering from a kidney problem.
    The middleweight duo had been set to renew acquaintances in Montreal after their first meeting ended in a disqualification for Sakara, who delivered a catalogue of blows to the back of the head.
    It is predicted that Sakara will need three months to allow his kidneys to recover after he visited a specialist. Fighters Only translated the news.
    "I've seen spreading news about the rematch with Cote. I wanted this fight so badly, even if Montreal isn't the right city for the rematch to happen. However, that does not matter now. The fact is, I cannot fight because of my kidneys," Sakara is quoted as saying."Three days ago I got some test results and the doctor has ordered that I stop everything for three months because of the renal stress. Right now my manager is getting the date moved."

    He would have been the first man every to put Cote out like that if he didnt punch the back of the head 10 times in a row
