Anderson Silva out of UFC 198, may require gall bladder surgery

[Virtually Identical]

Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva was forced Tuesday to pull out of his homecoming fight in Curitiba, Brazil, with Uriah Hall because of abdominal pain that may require gall bladder surgery, UFC president Dana White confirmed to Yahoo Sports.


Jeff Davidson, the UFC's medical consultant, told Yahoo Sports that Silva, 41, will be examined in Brazil for potential gall bladder surgery.

"Anderson developed abdominal discomfort [Monday and] further evaluation today is consistent with acute cholecystitis," Davidson said Tuesday. "He will be seen by a surgeon today for possible surgery."

Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gall bladder and is a primary reason patients have their gall bladders removed.

Silva's removal from the show puts a major dent into the UFC 198 card, which will be held in his hometown. White said he is trying to find an opponent for Hall to keep him on the card.

jesus are the MMA Gods trying to keep anderson from sniffing the title again? there's something weird happening with him every fight since the first weidman fight. Either that or UFC hired some wizards to put some black magic on him.

Better to have gall bladder removed than his face kicked off by Hall.

FUCK

I was looking forward to this fight so much. God damn.. well, at least the card has held up entirely other than this. A miracle when you think about it. Such a stacked show, and only 1 main fight gets scrapped. Wish it was Shogun/Anderson instead.. cuz if Shogun loses to him.. man.. my heart will shatter

What did he think was going to happen to his Gall Bladder after all those sexual performance drinks he used that got him popped for steroids

It's known by Monks and Mr Miagi alike you don't drink the sexy Kool aid. It wrecks your Gall Bladder.

In all seriousness, I'm upset we don't get to see Uriah Hall KO now.

I think they're saving him here, cause Hall is 31 vs Anderson 41. Anderson chin pretty close to being gone, he's best days are probably behind him at this point.
