The UFC 135 card just lost a second fight due to injury.
On the heels of Manny Gamburyan and Diego Nunes pulling out of their fight, Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto and Damacio Page are forced to pull out of theirs.
According to MMAjunkie, both fighters have suffered injuries in preparations for the upcoming bout.
The fight was expected to be a part of the Facebook preliminary card, but obviously will not be now.
Kid Yamamoto made his UFC debut back in February, at UFC 126, where he dropped a unanimous decision loss to current No.1 bantamweight contender, Demetrious Johnson.
Yamamoto was then set to face off against Chris Cariaso at UFC 130, but had to pull out of that fight due to injury as well.
Damacio Page is riding a two fight losing streak, and could have been fighting for his job. Page’s first loss in the streak came in his final WEC appearance at WEC 52, where he lost by a third round guillotine choke to Demetrious Johnson.
His second loss was a guillotine choke loss to Brian Bowles, which was notable for being the same method, and time, as the first loss to Bowles.
