Rumour has it that American Top Team light heavyweight and the man set to co-main event UFC 108 alongside Rashad Evans on January 2nd has suffered an ankle injury during training.
The news comes via Figure Four Weekly who also reveal the UFC are making it worth the Brazilian’s time to remain a part of the already massively injury hit card. It must be noted that this is an unconfirmed report.
This comes hot on the heels of today’s news that former PRIDE star, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira has been forced to withdraw from his UFC 109 fight with Brandon Vera, putting even further pressure on the promotions roster.
wow, the amount of injuries to this card, never seen anything like this. Zuffa has to be scrambling to keep what's left of the card ready for a PPV. There are still a few weeks left too.
Thiago Silva is a beast. If he had fought in pride, with the lights, ramps, fanfare, huge screens with his face on - he woulda been a star just like Wandy, he's aggressive, looks mean, has a 'trademark' fight celebration, KOs & TKOs all the time and has only just recently lost, until then he was on a tear.
injured or not i hope he beats Rashad, Thiago is someone to keep your eye on.
Thiago is fine, trainning hard for a tough fight against Rashad. Thiago is an extremely determined and disciplined guy, and will give us a lot of great fights on his way to a title. I am proud to manage him!
