Late Wednesday UFC welterweight contender Jon Fitch (19-3 MMA, 10-1 UFC) announced his UFC 106 fight had been canceled because of a knee injury suffered by opponent by Ricardo Almeida (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC).
However, another bout – a rematch from 2006 – may be on the way.
A source close to the UFC today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Fitch likely will instead fight fellow contender Thiago Alves (16-5 MMA, 9-3 UFC) in December at UFC 107; Alves' rumored opponent on that card, Paulo Thiago (11-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC), would instead be booked for another bout.

YES!!! I love it because atleast now Paulo Thiago atleast gets a shot too become a legit contender and get to build himself. Gettting the top 3 WW's beside GSP all in a row is definitely bullshit. Hope he gets a winnable fight and can keep growing.
BUt YES I LOVE THIS FIGHT! Definitely believe Fitch will beat him again. Be some sick exchanges on the feet but Fitch's ground game will be the factor again but this time I see it being an exciting action packed fight with Fitch getting an exciting decision nod but out working Alves.

perfect fight, maybe now we will also get the chance to see if paulo thiago is for real, it's a tough measuring stick fighting kos, fitch and alves in your first three ufc fights, now maybe he will get a gatekeeper to see if he really belongs or if he was just a fluke.

I think paulo thiago just caught a break. I like Alves focused after that gsp loss and pulls out the tko win.

I hope paulo thiago waits for Almeida to come back or has a fight and then goes against him. Shows where both guys are. I am so excited for alves vs fitch
