UFC 107 Knee Injuries Getting In Jon Fitch's Way

By , About.com GuideOctober 30, 2009

Follow me on:

Jon Fitch can't seem to catch a break. First, his UFC 107 fight against Ricardo Almeida was cancelled due to an Almedia knee injury. That said, when the organization offered up Thiago Alves, a man that had won seven straight inbetween losses to Georges St. Pierre and Fitch himself, he probably couldn't have been happier.  As good an opponent as Almeida was, right now a win over Alves, a fighter that many believe is far improved over the version that already lost to Fitch, would've been huge. 

But now Alves is out due to a knee injury as well.  Specifically, he suffered a torn posterior cruciate ligament during training, according to manager Dan Lambert, and will be out three to four weeks.

Fitch just can't catch a break.
