Rumors of the removal of Alexander Gustafsson from the main event of UFC on FUEL TV 9 have now become official. The UFC has announced the removal of Gustafsson in his main event bout with UFC newcomer Gegard Mousasi.
A replacement for Gustafsson has yet to be named although some rumors have been surrounding Wanderlie Silva’s possible entry. Information released today is cited below:
“The SMMAF Medical Committee has today reviewed the circumstances regarding Gustafsson and his injury,” a statement read. “The SMMAF Medical Committee recognizes that a competitor cannot be medically cleared earlier than the day before the match.
“However, bearing in mind that a correct medical examination that met the regulatory demands has been performed, nothing in the SMMAF regulations hinders the SMMAF Medical Committee from making a decision to stop Gustafsson from competing. As it is clear that Alexander Gustafsson will not be fit to compete as planned and cannot be medically cleared on Friday the 5th of April, the SMMAF Medical Committee has today decided that Alexander Gustafsson will not be allowed to participate in the planned match.”
