A UFC 106 bout has been struck from the night’s main card; welterweight
Jon Fitch (19-3 MMA, 10-1 UFC) says opponent Ricardo Almeida (11-3 MMA,
4-3 UFC) “blew out his knee” and was forced out of the event.
Fitch made the announced via Facebook and said he’ll get a “bigger fight instead,” – one “lots of you have been waiting for” – possibly on a later card.
UFC 106 takes place Nov. 21 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas and airs on pay-per-view.
