Vitor Belfort out, Wanderlei Silva in against Cung Le

An injury has forced Vitor Belfort out of November's UFC 139 event, and fellow middleweight Wanderlei Silva has stepped in to fight Cung Le.


UFC president Dana White today announced the change via Twitter.


UFC 139 takes place Nov. 19 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. The night's main card, including Dan Henderson vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, airs on pay-per-view.

That sucks, I was anxious to see Vitor fight again

yeah but Silvia always brings a good fight, so it'll be interesting

Yea, but I've always been a Vitor fan, I remember watching him when I was younger and he had the fastest hands I'd ever seen
