UFC 108 is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on January 2, 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. [1]
Background
A proposed main event featured UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva facing off against former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Vitor Belfort. However, it was announced by Silva's manager Ed Soares that the fight will not take place at UFC 108 because Silva will not be fully healed from elbow surgery. A new date for the fight has not been announced. [2]
A bout between Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin for the UFC Heavyweight Championship was rescheduled from UFC 106 to UFC 108, but this fight will not take place due to a continuing illness of Lesnar. [3]
The winner of the Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Cain Velasquez bout was to be guaranteed a title shot for the UFC Heavyweight Championship, against the winner of the Lesnar/Carwin fight. [4] However, the proposed main event between Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira and Cain Velasquez was canceled due to Nogueira having a severe staph infection[5] and a possible Velasquez vs. Shane Carwin match has been ruled out as a new main event due to Carwin undergoing knee surgery. [6]
