Due to injuries both YAN PELLERIN and STEPHANE DUBE wont be able to compete at TKO 16: INFERNAL. Pellerin injured his back while training and should be back for TKO 17: UNIFICATION. Dube's injury is more serious as he will need surgery to his left knee and will be out for at least 10 months.
TKO is looking for a replacement for both fighters and negociations are going well to make sure both Jason MacDonald (the new AFC LHW Champion) and young phenom Sam Stout are able to compete at TKO 16.
More informations coming soon.

Jeff Davis ?!? I hope to GOD it's a "loser leaves town" match.

Here's hoping Pellerin and Dube heal up quickly and completely.
damn... was looking forward to a stand-up war with dube vs stout - hope they put another striker in front of stout... that kid hits HARD!
PLEASE find a fighter for Stout.
And get ready to take belt measurements of his waist while you're at it...
You'll need them soon. :)
Bad break for Yan and Dube. Best wishes to them getting back ASAP. The card is still stacked with some potentially great bouts!!!
I hope replacements are found.

Damn...sad news for Yan and Dube...two great guys. I know Yan very well and he's a tank and very, very humble. Dube is also very respectful and a very exciting fighter to boot. Sad to hear this.
Get well guys.
ttt for Dube and Pellerin getting well.
With the body's and skills of those 2 fine lads, recovery WILL be a
quick one I'm sure. Everytime I saw Pellerin he was 10 pounds of
muscle heavier than the time before that, he's a beast.
As for Dube, I've only met him once, but his conditioning is top
notch as well, hopefully the tear of the knee/ligaments etc, won't
be bad enough to sideline him for too long. He's one of the
classiest guys on the roster right now.
J.T.
I'm not sure if he's fighting in Guam on the 22nd, but if not, I'd love to see a re-match between Jason Macdonald and Cam Brown!
A quick recovery to both Dube and Pellerin!!
Hopefully Stout and MacDonald can find opponents soon!
Why would a rematch between Macdonald and Brown happen? When they fought the first time Macdonald won hands down. Not to mention that was at least 2 years ago. I think MacDonald is on to bigger opponents, especially after his latest victory. From the sounds of it he totally dominated Rea as well.
Good luck Shane Rice!!!!
Man somebody get Sam someone to fight, the kid is sick
JT i thought the exact same thing!
Nova,
The next thing we'll hear about is the 4-man World Lightweight
tourney featuring:
Marc "The Canadian Hurricane" Longpre
Andy "I Can Beat Jens Pulver" Social
Denis "What Hell Was I Doing Fighting Shawn Davidson" Astel
Stephane "Give Me Something To Bite" Ouilette
...heaven help us.
J.T.
Stout did a great reffing job at the last strikers event.
