Nogueira Out Of UFC 108

Just as quickly as it was announced that heavyweights Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Cain Velasquez would be the main event for UFC 108, it looks like that fight is off. Nope, no police were involved in this one; according to UFC president Dana White:

“[Nogueira] got staph infection, bad, to the point now it’s in his bloodstream, and he’s probably going to have to be hospitalized and intravenously given the antibiotics.”

UFC 108 will still take place on January 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas; however, Velasquez will obviously have a new opponent. When that opponent is named, Octagon Buzz will have it for you.
