The craziness of UFC 230 continues to surprise us all. Earlier today (Oct 19, 2018) Luke Rockhold has been forced off the card due to injuries.
Rockhold, 34, was scheduled to fight former middleweight champion Chris Weidman in the co-main event of UFC 230 in Madison Square Garden on November 3. That, however, will not be happening.
Rockhold has several significant injuries he’s dealing with as reported by ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, who spoke with the dejected former middleweight champion just prior to this Twitter post:
Just spoke to a disappointed Luke Rockhold. He’s dealing with a litany of injuries:
*His left shin is infected again. He just got a stem cell graft put in.
*He sprained his right knee yesterday. MRI is scheduled for tonight.
*He broke his nose recently while grappling.— Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) October 19, 2018
It’s unknown if Weidman will remain on UFC 230. The UFC is reportedly working on finding him a replacement opponent for the card.
Either way, this is a major setback for Rockhold who was looking to rebound from a devastating KO loss at the hands of Yoel Romero this February.
