Kyle Bradley injured and ruled out against Sam Stout at UFC Fight Night 19

Lightweight Kyle Bradley recently sustained an undisclosed injury while training, forcing him out of his upcoming bout against Sam Stout at UFC Fight Night 19: "Diaz vs. Guillard" from the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City, Okla., on Wednesday, Sept. 16.

No replacement to take on "Hands of Stone" is known at this time.

Bradley was out to prove that his first round technical knockout win over Phillipe Nover at UFC 98: "Evans vs. Machida" back in May, which took less than 65 seconds, was no fluke.

That's because the 155-pound bout was mired in controversy when it appeared that Nover -- The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 8 lightweight finalist -- was in trouble after a big slam and subsequent flurry from Bradley. However, replays showed that Nover appeared to be maneuvering for a submission when the referee in charge of the action, Yves Lavigne, stepped in to stop the action.

Regardless, the result stood and Bradley registered his first win inside the Octagon in three attempts. He'll now have to wait a little while longer to make it two out of four.

UFC Fight Night 19: "Diaz vs. Guillard" will feature a main event between hungry lightweight up-and-comers and former TUF grads Nate Diaz and Melvin "The Young Assassin" Guillard.

In addition, Roger "El Matador" Huerta will throwdown for perhaps the last time inside the Octagon as he tries to leave on a high note against the stifling super-wrestler Gray "The Bully" Maynard.

Yep, he was just in Brazil working his BJJ. I wish he would work on his wrestling a bit more though.

I’m sure he does… they have a couple of good wrestlers at Renzo’s. Did Edgard was there too (Brazil)?

I don’t think edgar went. Nover went with his teacher Soca (BJJ world champ supposedly) to train at Viktor Gym.

why is this huerta last fight?

He wants to be a movie star. So dana is sending him packing with a L on his record so that when he comes back after realizing that he can’t cut it in hollywood, he’s damaged goods. And even better they can leverage his L to get him to sign a sh!tty contract.

Wow, Kyle looks really ripped on this one! Too bad the bug has bitten him. Man these injuries are just gettin’ more and more ridiculous?! WTF, it isn’t like they’re slippin’ in the shower room or somethin’ isn’t it?!

Yeah it’s probably Nover filling. According to him, he got the call today, and he said “soon” but hasent announced it.

Huerta is an underdog for sure vs. Maynard, but if he does pull out the W, it would put him on the doorstep of a title shot. Guess he knows that he would get killed by BJ Penn.

If he wins and then leaves the sport, that close to a shot at the championship of the world, I don’t think he’ll ever be back, because you lose something big when you take off for years and the sport evolves past you.

If Huerta beats Maynard, that puts him in the top 5. That means he would have to beat just one more guy (Edgar, Sherk or Griffin) to be a lock for a shitle tot.

But it’s all academic I guess, because Maynard is gonna control him for 3 rounds.
