Yesterday it was announced that Vitor Belfort would not be fighting Alan Belcher in a key middleweight fight at UFC 153 in Brazil, but instead against Jon Jones for the UFC Light Heavyweight championship. This left Belcher without an opponent for the night's scheduled co-main event, but it turns out that he himself was injured to the point where he would've had to withdraw from the card anyway. Belcher confirmed the news on his Twitter account.
