One of the more intriguing lightweight bouts on tap for UFC 132 in July is now in a state of flux, as MMA Junkie reports that Evan Dunham has pulled out of his scheduled bout with George Sotiropoulos, due to injury:


An undisclosed injury has forced lightweight Evan Dunham (11-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) to withdraw from a fight with George Sotiropoulos (14-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) at UFC 132.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) confirmed the news with sources close to the event.

Dunham was hoping to rebound from a TKO loss to Melvin Guillard at UFC Fight for the Troops 2 back in January, and re-establish himself as a serious contender at 155 lbs, but those plans will have to be put on hold for the time being.

Meanwhile, it appears that Sotiropoulos will remain on the card as the UFC searches for a replacement opponent. Stay tuned to BloodyElbow.com for updates on the story.


[UPDATE]: The Sydney Herald Sun reports that Dana White has confirmed that Rafael dos Anjos will step in and face Sotiropoulos.

I was looking forward to this match up :( Luckily Dos Anjos is an interesting enough match up. Please put on a good showing this time SOTS!!!

Dos Anjos will be a much easier fight for George. Look for him to pwn.

Def an easier fight than dunham..but I thought Siver would be a cake walk for sots too. Im hoping for a sub

damn, i really like evan dunham but HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE GEORGE!!!! im stoked for this, LETS SEE WHOS JITS IS BETTER 10p or BRASA brazil's !!! george better watch out for raf's kicks/knees cause hes vicious with them!
