Once again the injury bug has dropped a bomb on the UFC. Just a
few short weeks outside of UFC 155 it has been announced that former light
heavyweight champion and TUF season 1 winner, Forrest Griffin, will be forced
to withdraw from his upcoming bout with Phil Davis.
Dana White revealed today (Dec. 5, 2012) via his trusty twitter
account that Forrest has been taken off the December 29th card due
to a knee injury. Here is what White tweeted:
Forrest Has MCL tear and ACL strain. 20 cc's of
blood removed from his knee and the saga continues at the UFC!!
Although Dana White did not specifically state that Forrest has
been removed from the card it would only make sense considering he would not be
able to pass the pre-fight physical in order to fight Davis on the scheduled
UFC 155 card on December 29th in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It is still unclear whether Davis will be paired up with a
replacement for the night or if the fight is going to be postponed and pushed
back to a later date and card.
So what do you think Penn Nation!? Should Dana White find a
replacement or should he push the fight back a few months and let the two scrap
at a later date? Let's hear some suggestions, fight fans…
