The run of bad luck for "Ultimate Fighter" season 7 winner, Amir Sadollah, continues in his post reality show career as MMAWeekly.com has confirmed that he has been forced out of his upcoming bout against Nick Catone at UFC Fight Night on Feb 7.
At this time the severity of his injury has not been confirmed, but sources indicated that the fighter suffered a broken clavicle in training that pushed him out of the fight. Calls to Sadollah's management were not immediately returned.
Sadollah and Catone were originally scheduled to meet in November 2007, but a last second leg injury forced the "Ultimate Fighter" winner off the card and instead of finding a replacement, the UFC opted to push their match-up back to February instead.
Before his previously scheduled match in Nov, Sadollah had a leg infection that put him in the hospital and out of action for an extended period of time, and if the injury reports are accurate, this latest ailment could keep him sidelined for an undetermined amount of time as well.
No replacement for the fight has been named at this time, but according to sources close to Catone, the UFC is searching for another fighter to plug into the spot vacated by Sadollah.
Stay tuned to MMAWeekly.com for more information on this story as it develops.
Amir will be absent longer than danzig at this point... (Mac, not Glenn). I want to see Amir fight. He's the hometown guy and we'd like for him to rep us well... but it looks like hes not reppin us at all. Who is training with that he keeps getting messed up???
soooo basically we have an injury prone tuf winner, who has yet to fight a single fight on his contract yet right? tuf = home of the greatest fighters ever
TUF was never meant to turn everyone into a star, it was meant as a taped audition to the big show. The fact that as many TUF fighters are still around and very much in the title picture or have it, speaks very highly of the show.
i wish this thread wasn't bumped to the main page. it seems as though people are thinking that this is amir's third injury when its the same injury that we found out about a month ago.
