Anderson Silva OUT of UFC 198


Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva was forced Tuesday to pull out of his homecoming fight in Curitiba, Brazil, with Uriah Hall because of abdominal pain that may require gall bladder surgery. UFC president Dana White has confirmed this news to Yahoo Sports.

This news puts a major hole in the ufc198 card, which will leave Dana scrambling to find a new opponent for Uriah Hall. Anticipation had been building for this fight so it is a major letdown that Silva suffered this injury. This follows a recent run of injuries in recent time, which have forced the UFC to change fights last minute. This includes the injury to RDA that led to McGregor's famous loss to Nate Diaz.


We hope Silva can have a quick recovery to return to the octagon to continue his legacy as one of if not THE greatest mixed martial artist ever.
