Tony Ferguson out with injury

[Wild]

An injury has sidelined Tony Ferguson and forced him out of his main event bout on April 16 against Khabib Nurmagomedov.

With Ferguson no longer on the card, the light heavyweight matchup between Rashad Evans and Glover Teixeira will now become the new five round main event at FOX UFC Fight Night in Tampa.

UFC officials confirmed the move to FOX Sports on Tuesday.

Just saw this on Sherdog.

Rather comment about it here though.

Is the injury due to sparring?

They need to start training like the Thai's do.

Ffs........I was really looking foreward to this fight and thought this would have gone the other way as far as injuries go.

I would say the injury due to sparring, no offence to the team that injured Cormier/Cain(multiple times)/Khabib, wouldn't be an issue, he seems smart enough to avoid that, particularly since he knows the history of his now former opponent.......

What the mother fuck!!! These fucking guys can not stay healthy!! Learn how to fucking train!!!!

 

[Psychotropic Wanderlust]

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some irony in khabibs opponent getting injured. Anyone know if they are delaying the fight or looking for a new opponent?

Will this go away if we just shoot the messenger? Ban @Wild! Worth a try, no?

Would like to see Alvarez fill in.

Another good suggestion. That would be an awesome no. 1 contender match imo.
