Quote: Serra Injured, Withdraws From UFC 79 Card
UFC President Dana White announced Thursday that Matt Serra will have to withdraw from the UFC 79 card due to an injury he suffered after his training earlier this week.
The current UFC welterweight champion, who was scheduled to fight Matt Hughes at UFC 79, suffered a herniated disc in his lower back on Monday following a routine training session in his Long Island gym.
“This is devastating news because they were so looking forward to fighting each other," said White "Unfortunately injuries happen and I look forward to Serra recovering quickly, and to getting him back into the Octagon.”
Serra had just finished a Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling training session and was demonstrating a move when he became gripped with pain and fell to the floor. Serra went to the hospital and underwent an MRI, which revealed the herniated discs in his lower back.
“This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do,” said Serra. “I’ve never had a back injury before; I could hardly get off of the MRI table. There is no way I can train through this, and I’m devastated, especially because this was such an important fight. I was looking forward to fighting Matt Hughes. All my training was going phenomenally until Monday – All I can do now is to get better and to fight again as soon as possible.”
| Hope I wrapped that up right.

| I was looking forward to this fight, I hope they replace it with another good fight!
Edit: beat me to it!

herniated disc...not good. serra might be out for a long ass time.
i was never interested in this fight. hopefully we find a better replacement.
i'd like to see Cro Cop on the card.

Florian would be a decent addition to the card. Against Griffin would be interesting.
any news on Kongo or Nog fighting?
