Surprise Surprise - Injury forces Weidman out of UFC 199 bout with Luke Rockhold

[NewYorkKnight]

I hope Jacare is ready ... Bisping is shooting a movie right now so he's probably out.



BUT Something to remember ... During UFC 198 Post Fight Show, Jacare mentioned about a potential right knee injury

Bisping 2 minutes ago on twitter ... "Training camps separate the boys from the men. This sport isn't for everyone. 2 weeks notice? I'm down!!!"

 

[NewYorkKnight]

Weidman has now pulled out of 4 scheduled UFC championship fights within the past 25 months.


Weidman's injury marks the 15th main or co-main event change to the UFC calendar so far in 2016.

 

[NewYorkKnight]

Weidman is seeking additional medical opinions on injury, could require surgery.


UFC officials expect to have something to announce in re: Rockhold / 199 in next 24-48 hours.

[NewYorkKnight]

Jacare's doctor said he'll undergo surgery at 6pm tomorrow, will likely return to training in four weeks. Could fight in 3-4 months.

 

[NewYorkKnight]

Just an FYI to those who didn't know what Weidman's injury was ...

Herniated disc in his neck that needs surgery.

He is targeting the November show at Madison Square Garden for his return.



LOL Congrats to Bisping on finally getting his Title Shot ...

All it took was a broken neck ... a steroid bust and a guy who fought last week and blew out his knee.

Rockhold -1050
