Fighter Pulls Out Of WEC Fight

WEC fighter Tim McKenzie has been forced to pull out of his bout against David Avellan at September 10th's WEC event.

McKenzie is reported to have sustained an injury in training, although nothing is known about the nature of the injury. With the fight being just two weeks away, it is unclear whether the WEC will find a replacement for McKenzie, or the bout will be scrapped.

If the fight is cancelled, there will be eight fights on the card, which is headline by Urijah Faber and Mike Brown. The full card looks like this:

Urijah Faber vs. Mike Brown
Paulo Filho vs. Chael Sonnen
Jens Pulver vs. Leonard Garcia
Danillo Villefort vs. Jake Rosholt
Rob McCullough vs. Donald Cerrone
Rani Yahya vs. Yoshihiro Maeda
Johny Hendricks vs. Alex Serdyukov
Ed Ratcliff vs. Danny Castillo
