Due to an injury sustained in training, TUF 7 winner Amir Sadollah will not be facing Nick Catone at UFC Fight Night 17 (February 7th; Tampa, Florida). No, he didn't break his funny-bone. According to MMA Weekly:
ources indicated that the fighter suffered a broken clavicle in training that pushed him out of the fight...
Sadollah and Catone were originally scheduled to meet in November 2007, but a last second leg injury forced the "Ultimate Fighter" winner off the card and instead of finding a replacement, the UFC opted to push their match-up back to February instead. Before his previously scheduled match in Nov, Sadollah had a leg infection that put him in the hospital and out of action for an extended period of time.
This sucks just as bad for Nick Catone, who has been inactive since last June, just waiting for Sadollah to get his crap together. Luckily, the UFC is trying to find a replacement for Amir so that Catone can still compete next month.
As for Sadollah, he's also been inactive since last June, when he submitted CB Dollaway at the TUF 7 finale. That fight is still the only pro MMA match on Sadollah's record. There's no word yet on when he'll be able to return to competition, though perhaps Amir should take this as a sign that God is very displeased with the idea of him as a cage-fighter.
