Thiago Alves Off UFC 111 Card Due To Brain Irregularity; Jon Fitch Left Without Opponent

From TMZ

:

UFC’s Thiago “Pitbull” Alves will not fight at Saturday’s UFC 111, because a CAT Scan shows an irregularity in his brain … TMZ has learned.

UFC honcho Dana White tells TMZ he will fly Pitbull to a specialist for further evaluation. White says, “If it’s true, it can be career-ending.”

This is scary news for Alves. Hopefully everything checks out and he is able to live a healthy life, and if he can continue fighting all the better.

This is the second time that the rematch between Fitch and Alves has been canceled, with the first coming back at UFC 107 when Alves injured his knee in training.

Due to the short notice there will be no replacement opponent and Jon Fitch is now off the show.
