"Undisclosed injury" = I know I can't win this fight lol

Who's out there that they can throw in this fight?

Ricco

Too bad this didn't happen earlier so Thiago would've had time to get a full camp in

well that sucks im realloy not that interested in this card

Sucky.

Does Forrest really seem like the type to pull out cause he thinks he's going to lose?

Just look at the gauntlet he just went through
Shogun
Rampage
Rashad
Anderson
Ortiz

I doubt he backed out, I just think its funny given that he publicly said he didn't want this fight and its a bad matchup for him

He hurt his shoulder. This fight would have left Forrest in only a slightly better position than Keith Jardine is in now.

Did he really say that?

If so, I can see him having an injury that he would normally work trough being a fight-killer in this instance.

What a waste of time, the fight shouldn't have been made in the first place.

I hope they give Lil Nog a replacement.

That sucks. Really wanted to see that fight. Hope they can find a replacement.

is there enough time for a replacement now? 114 is just around the corner

Tito?

Maybe not but that card was so much better with that fight on it. Bums me out

I would have liked to see Lil Nog vs Franklin.

i know, same here

Look they will either fix it or they won't. If they can't, they will shuffle the pre-lims a little and those tend to be beter fights than the anticipated bouts anyway!

It would be cool if they could get Bader or Jones to fill in and fight Lil Nog.

pull jones from the vlad fight.

Jones vs Lil Nog would be a awesome fight! I dont think Forrest backed out cause he was scared or something but I do think he got an injury and said OK I might normally work through this but is it really worth it this time?

im sure they will find a replacement. Still about 3 weeks away. Whats Bader up to?

They won't throw one of their undefeated guys in there on short notice against someone as good as Nog. I don't know who they'll throw in though

Thiago, Anderson, Couture, Vera, Hamill or Ortiz seem like possibilities
