Ultimate Fighting Championships officials on Tuesday pulled a light heavyweight bout between Steve Cantwell and Vladimir Matyushenko from this weekend's UFC 108 fight card.

A source close to the event confirmed with MMAjunkie.com the likely injury to Cantwell, which was first reported by MMAWeekly.com.

According to the report, a replacement for the un-aired preliminary-card fight could be found in time for the Jan. 2 event.

The show takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The fight card has been ravaged by injuries; more than a dozen fighters have been forced off the card due to injuries over the past couple months.

MMAjunkie.com first reported the Cantwell vs. Matyushenko matchup earlier this month. Matyushenko (23-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC), a former top UFC light heavyweight contender, returned to the UFC in September after a six-year absence from the organization and topped Igor Pokrajac via unanimous decision at UFC 103 to pick up his 10th win in his past 11 fights. Cantwell (8-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC), a former WEC light-heavyweight champion, debuted with the UFC in late 2008 and scored a submission victory over UFC newcomer Razak Al-Hassan, but since then, he's dropped unanimous decisions to both Luiz Cane and Brian Stann.

The latest UFC 108 card now includes:

MAIN CARD

* Rashad Evans vs. Thiago Silva
* Paul Daley vs. Dustin Hazelett
* Joe Lauzon vs. Sam Stout
* Duane Ludwig vs. Jim Miller
* Junior Dos Santos vs. Gilbert Yvel

PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)

* Martin Kampmann vs. Jacob Volkmann
* Dan Lauzon vs. Cole Miller

PRELIMINARY CARD (Un-aired)

* Ryan Jensen vs. Mark Munoz
* Jake Ellenberger vs. Mike Pyle
* Rafaello Oliveira vs. John Gunderson

Ugh. I was really looking forward to Vladdy mopping up the floor with Cantwell. ;-) In all seriousness, it would have been a good fight. Hope Mr. Roboto gets better soon if he is injured. That always sucks, but it's a fact of the game.

On the bright side, I just banged out my 200th post. Booya! :mrgreen:
