According to ufc.com:

A leg infection has forced The Ultimate Fighter season seven winner Amir Sadollah to withdraw from his UFC 91 bout against Nick Catone this Saturday. After an exhaustive search for a replacement, the middleweight matchup will not be replaced on the card, but the welterweight showdown between rising stars Dustin Hazelett and Tamdan McCrory will be bounced to the pay-per-view portion of Saturday’s event.

Cool.

I’d rather see Hazelett anyway.

bummer for Amir, win for the fans. Hazelett vs McCrory should be very fun.

I was pissed that wasn’t main card status, so now I’m happy. Poor Sadollah, though – he always looks worried or sad.

hopefully it’s nothing major, and they can just add the same fight to another upcoming card. i agree that the replacement fight will be interesting, but i was interesting to see how sadollah would do. seemed like a tough test for him.

They should add Sadollah to the Fight For The Troops card if his leg is healed.

Barn Cat vs. McLovin

This just made me feel 10x better about paying for this PPV.

I was looking forward to seeing Amir fight but there’s no doubt this is a far more interesting and relevant fight.

Sucks for Amir, but I had hoped that the Okami bout would have gotten the nod.

I like Amir but he’s not ready to fight at 185. The man isn’t right for the divison. Everyone is tryin to get him to cut weight to be in the 170 range, but he won’t listen. His stand up won’t cut in the division. Amir listen to your family and friends.
