Jon Fitch vs Ricardo Almeida UFC 106 Fight Cancelled
 Date submitted: 22 October 2009
Author: MMAjunkie.com Staff
A UFC 106: Lesnar vs Carwin bout has been struck from the night's main card; welterweight Jon Fitch says opponent Ricardo Almeida"blew out his knee" and was forced out of the event.
Fitch made the announced via Facebook and said he'll get a "bigger fight instead," – one "lots of you have been waiting for" – possibly on a later card.
UFC 106: Lesnar vs Carwin takes place Nov. 21 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas and airs on pay-per-view. The UFC hasn't officially announced the change to the card.
If Fitch is shifted to a later card, UFC officials have a few options worthy of promotion to UFC 106: Lesnar vs Carwin's main card to take the vacant slot. Welterweight bouts of Marcus Davis vs Ben "Berserk" Saunders and Phil Baroni vs Amir Sadollah and a middleweight bout of Kendall Grove vs Jake Rosholt, which are currently on the UFC 106: Lesnar vs Carwin preliminary card, are all worthy of a spot on the night's main-card broadcast.
Fitch, whose only UFC loss came to Georges St Pierre in a title fight at UFC 87: Seek and Destroy in 2008, has re-emerged as a top contender with recent unanimous-decision wins over Akihiro Gono and Paulo Thiago. Aside from the St Pierre loss, Fitch is undefeated since 2002.
Almeida, now 9-1 in his past 10 fights (which included a four-year layoff from 2004 to 2008), had planned to make his welterweight debut following a 3-1 stint in the 185-pound division following the long layoff.
