Sean Sherk Injured; Off UFC 108 Card
Former lightweight champion Sean Sherk has suffered an injury and will not fight on the Jan. 2 UFC 108 card, The Times learned Thursday from sources close to Sherk’s camp.
Sherk reportedly was scheduled to fight Jim Miller, though the bout had not yet officially been announced by the organization.
Ironically, Sherk was replacing Tyson Griffin, who just last week was forced off the card with an injury of his own.
I’ve gone over, in some detail, the full list of fighters associated with the card that have gone down to injury. Sherk marks at least the eighth fighter signed to or rumored for UFC 108 to have to withdraw due to injury.
And the injury bug hasn’t stopped with UFC 108, there have already been fighters forced off UFC 109 and 110 due to illness and injury. It’s a bad period in the UFC’s history in terms of fighter injuries. But it really does have to get better at some point.
