Joe Lauzon injured and out of UFC 180 bout with Diego Sanchez
The hits just keep on coming for UFC 180 in Mexico, with lightweight Joe Lauzon the latest fighter to drop off the card due to injury.
Lauzon was expected to face Diego Sanchez on the main card for the UFC's debut in Mexico on Nov. 15, but he's been forced out of the fight after suffering an injury in training, sources confirmed to FOX Sports on Wednesday following a report from MMAJunkie.com. No replacement has been found.
Lauzon was himself a replacement after "Ultimate Fighter" winner Norman Parke was forced to withdraw with an injury.
Then on Tuesday, the main event underwent a major face lift with UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez suffering a knee injury, forcing him out of his bout against Fabricio Werdum.
Velasquez was the biggest draw on the card, which sold out in a matter of minutes. The new main event pits Mark Hunt against Werdum with the interim heavyweight title up for grabs.
