PRIDE and UFC veteran Marcus Aurelio today said that an elbow injury he sustained two weeks ago will keep him from fighting in Shine Fights’ single-night eight-man tournament on Friday in Newkirk, Okla.
And while he’s keeping his fingers crossed that he’ll be able to meet an obligation to fight Shinya Aoki at DREAM.16 on Sept. 25, it all depends on whether his injury subsides enough to fight.
“Right now, it looks like I can’t fight a girl,” he told MMAjunkie.com.
