Assuncao injured out of UFN62 main event with Faber

[Morpheushasleftthebuilding]

Twelve days after the announcement of a rematch between Urijah Faber and Raphael Assuncao as the main event of UFC Fight Night 62 in Brazil on March 21, the Brazilian bantamweight is out of the bout.


MMAFighting.com confirmed the news following a report by Combate.
According to sources close to the situation, Assuncao wouldn’t be able to recover in time from his ankle break he suffered earlier this year. The UFC is still working on getting a new opponent for "The California Kid".
Faber and Assuncao fought for the first time in 2010, and the Team Alpha Male fighter tapped the Brazilian in the third round at WEC 46. Assuncao is 7-0 since dropping to 135 pounds, while Faber went 9-3 with all of those losses coming in UFC title bouts against Renan Barao (twice) and Dominick Cruz.
UFN 62 takes place at Maracanainho gymnasim and features Demian Maia vs. Ryan LaFlare in the co-main event.

Seems like everybody is getting injured.

Is it possible 2015 could be worse than 2014?

That's a fight I would love to see.

There was something about Faber and Edgar facing off on the UG. Is that a real thing? if it is that is an awesome fight.

I tried adding an image, but the image wouldn't work. So i downloaded it and added it as an attachment. If you can't view it, it is Edgar and Faber facing off supposedly recently. I am very excited for this fight, if it is real, I just haven't heard anything about it other than that one UF thread.

i have to pick edgar in that fight. it's going to be high paced at first, but frankie will win pretty lopsided.
