Siyar, another fighter dropped from UFC 142 / Publicity photo
It may not be Friday the 13th, but it does seem eerie for the athletes on the card for UFC 142. Besides Paulo Thiago, who suffered a dislocated elbow, and Stanislav Nedkov, who had visa issue, two more fighters tipped to do battle on January 14 in Rio have had to pull out from the event.
England’s Rob Broughton and Armedia’s Siyar Bahadurzada have also fell to injury and will not face Ednaldo “Lula” and Erick Silva, respectively. No word of who will be replacing them has come from the promotion yet.
