You know what I’m getting really tired of? Injuries. Mainly because I hate being the bearer of bad news, and I’ve got more to deliver right now.
On Saturday, the Wrestling Observer reported Jon Fitch must withdraw from his fight at UFC on Fuel 4 with Aaron Simpson due to a knee injury. This report was later confirmed by MMAFighting.com with Jon Fitch’s trainer, “Crazy” Bob Cook.
There is still no word on who is expected to step in as a replacement.
Jon Fitch was looking to get back in the win column after suffering the most devastating loss of his career at the hands of Johny Hendricks at UFC 141. The knockout was the one that Josh Koscheck referenced when building his fight with Hendricks at UFC on FOX 3.
I know that if I’m getting tired of hearing about all these injuries, then Joe Silva and Dana White are losing their collective minds. The summer has turned into a nightmare with how many fighters have been bitten by the injury bug.
Hopefully, this will be the end of it. I don’t want to create any kind of conspiracy theory that the fighter insurance is the cause for all these fighters dropping out. That’s not a theory I wish to pursue.
UFC on Fuel 4 is scheduled for this summer in San Jose, California. The card is headlined by Chris Weidman and Mark Munoz.
