Thiago Alves consults with specialists, to announce future plans tonight

While this weekend’s UFC 111 is an event heavy on storylines, the late scratch of
Thiago Alves from the card provided an unexpected – and unfortunate –
turn of events over the past few days.

An irregularity in a pre-fight CT scan forced Alves out of the contest,
and his fighting future has been much-discussed since the initial
reports first came to light on Thursday.

Alves’ agent, Malki Kawa of First Round Management, told MMAjunkie.com that all answers will be issued tonight at a
previously announced Q&A session with “Pitbull.”
