The fight card with the black cloud over it is just a few weeks away. UFC 108 has been plagued by a record number of injuries and bout reschedules. UFC president Dana told Cagewriter you have to roll with the punches: 

“In almost 10 years this stuff has never happened,” said. “[But] it’s part of the business. Trust me bro, guys getting injured and falling off, I get bigger problems than that everyday. Our job is to make other fights.”

Rashad Evans and Thiago Silva is the main event but that wasn’t part of the original plan(s). We’re including rumored bouts like Anderson Silva versus Vitor Belfort. Silva was unavailable because of elbow surgery. Shane Carwin was under the impression he and Brock Lesnar had their bout pushed from UFC 106 to UFC 108 that was before we knew how serious the champ’s health issues were. Then came Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira versus Cain Velasquez. But Big Nog had to drop out because of staph infection.
