Vitor belfort is out of UFC-122, an event that takes place on November 13th, in Oberhausen, Germany. The Brazilian suffered an injury during training and will not be able to face the Japanese Yushin Okami in the main fight of the show.
This is the second consecutive injury that has taken Vitor out of a fight. In May of this year, a shoulder problem kept him from competing for the middleweight belt against Anderson Silva. To replace Belfort, the Ultimate organization called up the North American Nate marquardt, which comes from victory over Rousimar Toquinho at UFC Fight Night 22.
