Injury Knocks Fisher Out of Aurelio Bout
Monday, March 17, 2008
by Greg Savage (greg@sherdog.com)
Spencer Fisher (Pictures) has been forced to withdraw from his April 2 UFC Fight Night bout against Marcus Aurelio, Sherdog.com learned Monday afternoon.
The popular lightweight known for his exciting style withdrew following a shoulder injury.
"Spencer is the kind of fighter who has fought plenty of fights with injuries and Marcus Aurelio is not the kind of fighter you want to fight at 80 percent," said the native North Carolinian's manager, Monte Cox. "He was willing to fight but we decided it just was not a smart decision."
The 31-year-old Fisher (20-4-0) was looking to rebound from a loss to Frank Edgar (Pictures) at UFC 78.
Aurelio (15-5-0) had hoped to continue the momentum he had built in his dominant stoppage win over Luke Caudillo at UFC 78 against Fisher.
He will now likely face Jim Miller, whose only loss came at the hands of Edgar. Miller (10-1-0) is riding a five-fight winning streak into his UFC debut.

But yea, not a bad replacement but I see Marcus cruising right through him. | Yeah, I imagine they will just scrap the slot completely. The show has 11 fights still.
Aurelio will probably fight in May or June instead.. if I had to guess, as UFC.com has removed Aurelio and Fischer from the card. I really wanted to see him fight again. Had him beating Fisher too.
War Marcus.

War Marcus. | I want to see him still fight. Imagine if Tim never took that fight with Heath because it was on short notice? Just food for thought.
