In less than a week, the UFC 180 card, which takes place on November 15 in Mexico City (Mexico), suffered its third loss. After the champion's departure Cain Velazquez and light weight Joe lauzon, it was the turn to Diego Sanchez get injured and leave the event. Sanchez's cut was announced less than 24 hours after Lauzon's, who would be his opponent in the event.

In total, there are already five athletes who left the debut card of the most famous octagon on the planet in Mexico: in addition to those already mentioned Cain Velazquez, Joe lauzon e Diego Sanchez, the home athlete Erik Perez and the British Norman Parke were also forced to abandon their fights due to physical problems.

UFC 180 takes place on November 15th at Arena Ciudad de México, in Mexico City. In the main fight of the night, the Brazilian Fabricio Werdum faces the New Zealander Mark Hunt for the interim heavyweight belt. In addition, the event will also host the finals of the reality show The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America in the featherweight and bantamweight categories.

Fatal change? Makhachev ignores warning and could end tragically at welterweight!
