UFC welterweight fighter, Diego Sanchez, has been forced out of his scheduled UFC 135 matchup with Matt Hughes, due to a broken hand suffered during training.
The news comes straight from Dana White, just moments ago and as confirmed by the company president, a search for a replacement is currently underway.
No word on the extent of the injury or how long Sanchez will be out of action was given at the time of this report.

Paulo Thiago vs Hughes
Agreed.. I’m a huge Paulo fan. Kos..shields..Fitch would be good replacements also.
Seriously, Fitch? That wouldn’t even be a contest, hughes would get DESTROYED!!!!!!!!
How about you just put down who u think Hughes should fight..
Doubtful. Fitch rarely if ever destroys anyone.
IDK.. he destroyed alves!
Well my first choice was correct.. Kos just accepted the fight against Hughes!
Fitch did not destroy Alves… he humped is leg for 3 rounds… come on now
they had 2 fights buddy
**** i was really looking forward to this fight
Wtf this succs
*sucks
rory macdonald
I thought that it was unfair for Hughs to have to fight Sanchez. Too past his prime to take on such a beast.
Yea you’re right. Diego is too far gone to be gettin beat up by one of the greatest Welterweight champions of all time. Let’s go Hughes!!!
I would say Thiago Alves rematch, but that guy wouldn’t have make weight again. lol
Royce gracie.. would love to see a rematch
Damn was looking forward to that match up.
AT some point the UFC just needs to announce the matchups after these guys have finished training because by the time most of these fights actually happen the entire card reads different fighters than originally announced. Injuries have never been more of a problem than in the last year. I realize most injuries are legit but the FAKED ones make this seem like so much more BULLSHIT. Case in point Kenny florian PUSSYED out of the Dunham fight because he thought it was a bad matchup and didn’t want a 3rd loss in row on his record. Florian knows he can’t beat wrestlers. Only reason anyone even found out the truth is Greg Jackson was in the know and madxe the mistake of telling Melvin Guilard who had replaced Kenny. Guilard thought what Florian did was such a ***** thing to do he asked the UFC if they would match him up with Florian. Guilard called kenny out and next thing we know Florian is on MMA live saying he’s tucking tail and fleeing down to 145. What a ***** a guy who walks around 180 plus will only fight 145. florian is the most overrated fighter in MMA. He looks like stick man with a huge melon on top
i agree. hes not as good as they make him out to be. Aldo is going to take care of him at 145.. : )
Agree with you Bro, but I don’t think anyone tries to make Kenflo look good. Heck Dana came right out and called him a choke artist. More of an over achiever than over rated. I think he looks more like a Muppet Character myself. Bert maybe.
Sucks!
I say give him Thiago Alves
may not a match anyone wants to see just yet but seeing as John Hathaway beat sanchez……that be a goood replacement…
This blows…I know injuries happen but the UFC needs to figure out something with the injuries plague…..Maybe if the ufc deducted a percentage from theie fight by pulling out would help??? F*ckin bullshit..
The new insurance is just making an already HUGE problem even worse of these fighers constantly dropping out of fights. I personally think the problem lies in UNEDUCATED trainers who over train their fighters. Th e number obe problem with MMA training is not enough rest in between training sessions. REST is just as important as the training itself but most of these fighters are in fact training 3 times a day which causes the body to break down and increases the likelyhood of injury 10 fold
Put Martin Kampman in there. He beat Diego imo so that would be the fight I want to see.
dang didnt see this comin, but looks like should be good fight.
Hey dudes its magoo,this site sucks now imo………..miss all of ya……..peace brothers.
