Sean Sherk Off UFC 108 With Injury, Duane Ludwig In

The Northwest Indiana Times is reporting that Sean Sherk is off the UFC 108 card:

Former lightweight champion Sean Sherk has suffered an injury and will not fight on the Jan. 2 UFC 108 card, The Times learned Thursday from sources close to Sherk's camp.

Sherk reportedly was scheduled to fight Jim Miller, though the bout had not yet officially been announced by the organization.

Ironically, Sherk was replacing Tyson Griffin, who just last week was forced off the card with an injury of his own.

There really are no words to explain the luck of this card.  Guys are getting injured one after another, the guys who replace guys who got injured are getting injured, and one of the main event fighters is rumored to be hurt but being paid to not pull out.

No matter what kind of front Dana is putting up, the promotion is not thinking of this card as business as usual.  I'm just sure everyone is ready to see January 2 come and go.

[UPDATE] - Monte Cox said the 36-year-old Minnesotan sustained a cut over his right eye that required multiple stitches. Photo via sherdog.com

[UPDATE] #2 - Duane Ludwig vs. Jim Miller at UFC 108:
Stepping in to replace Sherk will be Duane "Bang" Ludwig who will return to the UFC for the first time since 2006 to take on Jim Miller in a 155lb contest.

I'm starting to wonder if some other factor is at work here.

Not some conspiracy, but has something changed to how injuries are treated? Some policy change as to how the UFC or Commissions are treating fighters who fight with injuries that would make a fighter weary of gutting it out like usual? Or perhaps some grass roots attempt to force the UFC’s hand on some matter by the fighters?

It just seems like too long a string of bad luck with injuries to major fighters to simply be bad luck.

Or perhaps I need to go to bed.

Like this?
The UG smells something fishy:

    A notable head of a major athletic commission talked to a notable head of a major fight company whose athletes were rampantly using steroids and suggested for the good of the company and the sport, they should test everyone themselves one month out.

    The ones that fail, they should announce that they are injured, because in training, everyone is really injured, get a legit diagnosis of the injury, and pull them out of the fight, that way they don’t have guys suspended.

    Not that this has anything to do with anything this week."

As a fan of HP Lovecraft’s work I also hope they don’t get any of them on the screen because they rarely work: The Curse (The Colour Out of Space); The Dunwich Horror; From Beyond; The Lurking Fear; Necronimicon; The Unnamable; In the Mouth Of Madness where all horrible adaptions. The only exception is the Re-Animator (which was directed by Stuart Gordon, who was, strangely enough, had an office next to mine for years.), but this is offset by Bride of the Re-Animator. There is something about translating his horrors beyond horrors, insanity inducing room measurements, and cursed family lineages that have proven impossible to bring to the screen.
Maybe Del Toro will prove me wrong.

Yup

Love Bang, but damn, this thing needs to be put out of its misery.

I’m at the point where I am just throwing out crazy scenarios and seeing if they come to fruition: Gilbert Yvel is the latest to drop out of UFC 108 do to a freak masturbation accident.

by John Nash on Dec 17, 2009 11:37 PM EST up reply actions  

About time they brought back Bang, he is 2-0 in the UFC after all.

Time to promote The Janitor to the main card. Matyushenko-Cantwell will be a good one.

He’s a worthy replacement. It’s always fun to watch him fight.

by TannerMatthews on Dec 17, 2009 11:53 PM EST reply actions  

Apparently Thiago Silva. He’s got an ankle injury is the rumour.

Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.

A victory for Ludwig followed by some alienating of the Zuffa bosses perhaps?

would there be any financial ramifications to moving this card to Spike?

Guess 300 000 buys with approx $30 going to Zuffa a pop this would lose them $9 000 000

Well

They stand to lose money over PPV, but they’d get ad rev. Getting a little late in the game for selling ads, though..

It’s too late to change course. It’s sort of like how the Titanic would have been better off to take the iceberg right on the nose instead of turning too late and getting it’s starboard side torn up.

They’re taking a hit no matter what, so they might as well keep on trucking.

I genuinely laughed at the notion of a referee being the only consistent factor of this card.
It’s the 1% of people who are actually funny on here that compel me to bother reading the comments anymore.

by Simco on Dec 18, 2009 2:31 AM EST up reply actions  

It actually is a big deal

Since Yvel was brought in to hospitalize him.

2 is a lot...

…when the top guys fight 2-3 times a year. Since his return to the UFC, Sean fought:

2005: 1
2006: 2
2007: 1
2008: 2
2009: 1

And now he’s missing his first fight of 2010. So yeah, 2 is a lot.

So in ’06 and ’08 he fought a lot?

The only thing Jon Jones does better than Matt Hamill is hear.

If he’d missed 2 fights in those years, would he have made a lot of money?

Duane Ludwig?

Seriously? Miller should have an easy fight there.
