Chris Weidman out of UFC 155 bout

Middleweight contender Chris Weidman suffered a right shoulder injury during a training session and will not fight Tim Boetsch on Dec. 29.

Weidman, who confirmed the injury Wednesday, was scheduled to face Boetsch at UFC 155 in Las Vegas. Boetsch will now fight Constantinos Philippou on the card.

Newsday.com reported Weidman's injury earlier.

"I hit a double-leg and landed weird and hard on my shoulder, and it popped," Weidman told ESPN.com. "I had an MRI on it. I tore my labrum, and I could have a separation. There could be some other things, but we haven't heard back from the doctor. The radiologist told us all that much so far.

"It looks like I'm going to need surgery. It's my right shoulder."

The injury could not have come at a worse time for Weidman. Three weeks ago his home on Long Island was damaged by Hurricane Sandy. He's been on an emotional roller coaster the past few weeks, he said.

"I go up and down from being depressed about it to being optimistic," Weidman said, "with Hurricane Sandy happening, then this. The good thing is I get to focus on my family throughout the holidays. The bad thing is that I'm going to have to have surgery and miss on the fight of my life.

"The one thing I did not want to happen, and was scaring me this whole camp, was for me to get hurt. I need the money with everything that went on with Hurricane Sandy. That (money) was going to be used when I got that fight right at the end of the year."

Weidman, who is ranked second by ESPN.com among 185-pound fighters, has a professional record of 9-0. His name is constantly mentioned as the man likely to get a title shot against middleweight champion Anderson Silva. Silva, however, is expected to face welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre in a non-title superfight that is being targeted for May.

Weidman cemented himself as the consensus top middleweight contender on June 11 with a second-round knockout of Mark Munoz. The only other middleweight contender being mentioned for a title shot is Michael Bisping.

Despite this recent setback, Weidman remains confident that he will become champion someday.

"I'm going to make the best of it, and hopefully it will be a blessing in disguise," Weidman said. "One way or another, I'm going to get that belt."

Munoz??

Costa Phillipou already replaced him bruh...

btw anyone whos into betting, Alan Belcher is evens to beat Okami here, fucking buying money

Dunno how I missed the part about Phillipou..

I agree with Kris P Lettus that Cain will go over JDS.

I think JDS is a slightly better fighter than Cain, but Cain will be way more determined this time around......and will defeat JDS out of sheer will.

I'm going jds. The way he fights doesn't leave many openings for Cain.

JDS said that he thinks Bigfoot will beat Overeem.. He also said that he respects Cain cause they (JDS and Cain) are both made in the gym, while Overeem was made in a lab..

Pretty much talking shit to him about failing that T:E test..

Here is the updated card:

Main Card
Dos Santos vs Velasquez
Miller vs Lauzon
Boetsch vs Philippou
Okami vs Belcher
Leben vs Brunson

Prelims
Pickett vs Wineland
Perez vs Bloodworth
Guillard vs Varner
Johnson vs Jury
De Fries vs Duffee
Cariaso vs Moraga

Cain
J-Lo
Boetsch
Belchar
Leban

I enjoy watching is Guilard can ever get off a prelim card or not. lol

I'm ordering this btw. I think Cain is going to crush this dude. I really thing he didnt realize what he was getting into the first fight and now he knows and he'll be smarter and tougher and JDS will fall hard.

Cain vs. JDS is probably the most intriguing match up this year because it really feels like it could go either way. Really looking forward to it. I'm lukewarm on the rest of the card though.

How??

Miller/J-Lau and Belchar/Okami will both be good..

I might pay for one of those HD streams for Lauzon/Miller and the HW fight. Belcher/Okami doesn't do it for me. Yeah I know Belcher gets KOs, but I'm not interested in seeing him fight Okami. Tim Boetsch does nothing for me, even though Philippou might make it a good scrap.

It's not a bad card by any means, it's just not a card I'd pay $60 for.

Yeah besides the main event nothing to get excited about. Doesn't mean it won't be good

Hey guys, I am not an athlete and I also am too scared to take a punch so my buddies and myself wrestle in my mom's backyard to compensate..

Maybe one day I will be invovled in a real sport and then my mom will not get mad at me for denting her cookie sheets..

p.s. I love penis..

Goldy will miss this event, Anik will do play by play.. Kinda looking forward to how Rogan and Anik work together..

I'm not gonna miss Goldie repeating the same damn random facts every round at the most awkward times during the fight. Hopefully Anik and Rogan mesh well enough for him to take Goldberg's place whenever his contract is up.

"he has the thighs of an NFL running back"

They should have Krazy Horse and Rampage commentate like the old King of the Cage events :D

Rampage, Krazy Horse and Bas Rutten..

:y:

And Matt Hamill..

lol:sad:

There's something about UFC heavyweight fights that get me hyped every time. Can't wait for this.

BTW, my dream commentary team would be a three man booth consisting of Mauro Ranallo, Rogan and Pat Miletich/Chael Sonnen. I'm used to Pat on the SF cards, but I really like Chael on FX/Fuel prelims when he's not doing his gimmick.

I would say Renallo, Rogan, and Couture..

I think JDS wins in similar fashion to fight 1

Me too, I'm guessing its because the usually end with a stoppage

Not a bad batch of Facebook prelim fights. Leonard Garcia vs. Max Holloway should be a good scrap as should Todd Duffee vs. Phil DeFries.

Leonard Garcia got screwed.

what happened

bad decision??

I'm pumped for Guilliard/Varner.. Melvin went all gangster yesterday at the weigh-ins..

There's nothing gangster about trying talking shit at a weigh-in wearing Captain America socks and tight underwear with your junk hanging out. I like Guillard as a fighter, but dude is an immature jackass.

I just though Garcia dictated the pace and terms of the fight and won at least two of the three rounds. Sucks that he lost too since I think that's his fourth straight.
