The UFC-117 card suffered a considerable loss this Tuesday. The event, which takes place on August 7th in Oakland, United States, will not feature the Brazilian athlete Thiago Silva. The Brazilian suffered an acute herniated disc crisis and will not be able to face Tim Boetsch on the show. In his place, the Ultimate organization was quick to act and called up Todd Brown.
UFC-117 is called by many a Brazil versus the United States challenge, which even with the departure of Thiago Silva will feature five duels between Brazilians and Americans. Check out:
Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen
Thiago Alves vs. Jon Fitch
Rafael dos Anjos vs. Clay guida
Ricardo Almeida vs. Matt hugs
Junior dos Santos vs. Roy Nelson
