Cheick Kongo ruled out of UFC 91 with shoulder injury

French UFC heavyweight contender, Cheick Kongo, who was last seen in action at UFC 87, knocking out debutant Dan Evensen in the first round, has been ruled out of action for a number of months with a shoulder injury.

Kongo is said to have suffered the injury before his last outing and fought through the pain but will now go under the surgeons knife ruling him out for the rest of the year.

This is of course a setback for the fighter who had got back on track after losing by split decision against Heath Herring earlier in the year. After his most recent win, he demanded he should be considered for a future title shot and was initially rumoured to be next in line for Brock Lesnar this November.

So it looks like the Couture/Lesnar fight might actually happen..

But let me ask you this, if Lesnar does fight Couture, technically, it would be for the HW Championship because they still introduce Nog as the "interim HW Champ"..

How would this work??
