Houston Alexander out at UFC 98

Well according to the UFC twitter, Houston Alexander has broke his hand and is out at UFC 98

"UFCHouston Alexander broke his hand. A new light heavyweight opponent for Andre Gusmao at UFC 98 to be announced quickly."

This makes another fight on the UFC 98 card that will have a replacement. This card has been plague with several injuries and this is the third in like 3 days. I cannot believe how many changes have been made to this card.

Damn, this is getting to be like UFC 85

Where the main event alone was changed about 3 different times due to Liddell, Shogun, and Irvin all suffering injuries, along with several undercard fighters pulling out with injuries as well.

Some events are just cursed I guess.

I like Brilz a lot

But seeing as how the last time Gusmao fought a wrestler (Reese Andy) turned out to be a real snoozer, I was kinda hoping they’d throw in someone from the 97 card, like Krystof or Cantwell, provided they aren’t suffering from any injuries.
