UFC lightweight and Fight for the Troops 2 headliner Kenny Florian has been forced out of his scheduled January 22 bout with Evan Dunham after suffering a training injury.

Florian confirmed the news on his blog. Though he didn’t detail the injury, a source close to the fighter told MMA Fighting that Florian suffered a torn knee ligament.

The UFC veteran noted on his blog, however, that his doctors are “cautiously optimistic” that the injury will not require surgery.
