Quote :
It wasn’t the shootout fans were initially promised, but there will still be a slugfest going down in San Jose, nonetheless. On Wednesday morning, UFC president Dana White announced an injury has forced Vitor Belfort out of his UFC 139 scrap against Cung Le and Wanderlei Silva (Pictured) has agreed to play substitute.
“Vitor is injured and out of San Jose fight. Now Cung Le will fight Wandy!” White tweeted just moments ago.
Silva has dropped six of his last eight bouts and was most recently seen getting put to sleep by Chris Leben at UFC 132 in July. Although White suggested it was “probably the end of the road” for the former Pride FC superstar, it appears the 35-year-old will get one final hurrah.
Le, on the other hand, hasn’t sniffed a mixed martial arts canvas since posting a knockout win over Scott Smith at “Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum” in June of 2010. The kickboxing specialist holds a 7–1 MMA record, with all of his bouts coming under Strikeforce’s banner.

Le has a better chance of winning now... but still a tough fight for him and it should still be a great fight to watch for the fans.

Two old dogs gonna battle it out. It is a more even playing field for both fighters now. Vitor would have beaten Cung badly in the first round. Now Le will actually live to tell his mma career to his great grandchildren.

I personally can not WAIT for the day when we see bionic MMA fighters. No more injuries, just order a replacement part online and FedEx it overnight.

I like Vitor but he is one high maintainance bee-ach.
Cung Le is going to kick poor old Wanderlei in the head and right into a home for fighters with cuncussive dementia.

I couldn't find any where that he was ever cut but i did see he was ducking Brian Stann and that's why he got Leben.

I hope Wandy doesn't get KO'd again, but knowing him he will try and slug and get caught and put to sleep.... sad sad day

I think it was the post press after his last fight that Dana said that he was done. I guess it never made its way to the books.

Dana stated in a recent interview with Ariel helawni that depending upon the outcome of this fight, this may well be wandi's last fight.

Maybe Wandy can pull a Big Nog and KO Le in the first! Then put Wandy on the UFC Japan card
