Man down!
The UFC 138 fight card and line-up for "Leben vs. Munoz" just got a last-minute facelift following an injury to Paul Taylor, who was scheduled to meet on the televised card this Saturday (Nov. 5) at the LG Arena from the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England.

Following a minor car accident Monday night in which he was rear-ended at a red light and suffered whiplash, lightweight Paul Taylor has been forced to withdraw from his UFC 138 bout with Anthony Njokuani.
