Faber injured, forced to withdraw

"The upcoming WEC 50: "Cruz vs. Benavidez" fight card took a major hit
today after Urijah Faber was forced to pull out of his bantamweight
debut against the venerable Takeya Mizugaki on Aug. 18 from "The Pearl"
at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"The California Kid" broke the unfortunate news via his official Twitter
account.
Faber was recently pushed out of the 145-pound weight class by
reigning division champion Jose Aldo. Aside from a Jens Pulver
submission win, the former featherweight champion dropped consecutive
fights to his temporary successor, Mike Brown, first at WEC 36 and then
again at WEC 41.
His frame may be better served at 135-pounds, but it doesn't sound
like he'll get there this year.
Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for updates to the WEC 50 line-up as the
promotion begins its search for Mizugaki's replacement."

sucky

I wonder how long he will be out.

You know it's getting to the point that it's almost more surprising when upper level fighters make it from one fight to the next without getting injured. What the hell's going on with these guys?

grinding sport, not surprised it is a knee injury after how bad he got kicked to hell by Aldo

He has has a lot of fights. It is not the age, it is the mileage.

Sucks I was looking forward to seeing him fight again.

hope they can get Mizugaki a fight still

I say get him Marcus Hicks on short notice

They said they aren't trying to get him a replace fighter for some reason. Maybe they think Faber won't be out that long and still want that matchup

That would be good news.

honestly that sucs IMO

if he pulls out give Mizugaki someone like Hicks to stay busy and get a paycheck
