i'd love to know what percentage of ufc fighters get hurt & are forced to back out of fights. anyone ever seen a number??

Hope they can kind a replacement in time. I'd hate to see McDonald off the card.

or Wineland could use the fight, is he booked up?

I think thEy can find someone of late
Maybe curran would take the fight
