The UFC's injury bug has become a bona fide monster.

After a series of injuries forced changes and cancellations to some of the biggest UFC fights of the summer, the organization has lost another.

UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo (21-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) is injured out of UFC 149's headliner, and UFC 148's interim-bantamweight title fight between Urijah Faber (26-5 MMA, 2-1 UFC) and Renan Barao (28-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) has taken the UFC 149 main-event slot.

Man, UFC 148 went from perhaps the greatest card in UFC history to still being an over okay card. I now we get Silva/Sonnen II, but no Cruz v. Faber III, no Bisping, No Franklin, and now no Faber. I guess this is the last I really get my hopes high for a card.

It happens everytime Masscore. The same thing happened to UFC 137 and UFC 146.

All the great cards in paper get ruined by injuries or some idiotic action by fighters like Nick Diaz or Roidereem.

It is really hard to be a fan of this sport sometimes.

Do these people know how to train without getting injured? The only camp that does a good job avoiding this is the Cesar Gracie camp. I know they are a bunch of weeping babies but at least we have to give them credit for this.

This is atay of execution for Koch if I've ever seen one lol.

this is a HUGE blow, but come on guys, both the silva/sonnen II and 149 cards still look pretty damn good. if these were the original blueprints, i dont think anyone would complain at all...still, it sucks to see all these fighters dropping like flies.
