UFC has confirmed that Thiago Alves has been pulled from the fight with Jon Fitch. Alves was not medically cleared to fight this coming Saturday.  Scans have revieled that Alves has an irregularity on his brain, and has resulted in him not being able to fight.

This comes a major setback, as fans have been waiting for this rematch for sometime now.  But of course, we are all hoping Alves get’s better and is able to fight soon.  Someone close to Alves has said that he should be fine and it’s nothing serious, but Jersey officals are just being cautious about the fighters health.

Looks like we are all going to have to wait to see this much anticipated rematch.
