MMA Event Changes

September 6, 2008 |


FaberHere are some significant key changes to recent upcoming MMA events.

WEC 36 postponed to November 5th due to severe weather events scheduled to hit south Florida.  The event, originally scheduled for Sept. 10th, looks to be an amazing card with Urijah Faber taking on the underrated Mike Brown, and Paulo Filho defending his belt against a surging Chael Sonnen.

UFC announces the cancellation of the Karo Parisyan and Yoshiyuki Yoshida fight scheduled to take place at UFC 88. The official reason for the bout being cancelled was said to be due to medical reasons on the part of Parisyan, more specifically, back problems.  Due to Parisyan’s pulling out so late, no opponent could be found for Yoshida on such short notice.   Since the Parisyan/Yoshida fight has been bumped from the card, the Matt Brown versus Dong Hyun Kim fight has been moved up to the main televised card. 

UFC announces the cancellation of the Thiago Silva/Lyoto Machida fight schedule for UFC 89.  The undefeated Silva has been fighting back problems for a while now, which has led to his pulling out of the fight.  The UFC front office is currently trying to find another quality opponent to fight the All-World Machida.
