Top 10 UFC Fight Card Letdowns of 2009
It seems that 2009 was the year of injuries and letdowns for the UFC and fans. Almost every card had some last-minute alteration to it. Here are our picks for the top 10 letdowns of UFC fight cards in 2009.
10. UFC 98 – Frank Mir vs Brock Lesnar
What Happened: Mir pulled out due to a back surgery. Fortunately, the fight was rescheduled to UFC 100.
Disappointment Level: “Low” The only annoying thing about this rescheduling was waiting two months for a better event.
9. UFC 108 – Gabriel Gonzaga vs Junior Dos Santos
What Happened: Gonzaga pulled out due to a staph infection. The fight has been rescheduled to an unknown date.
Disappointment Level: “Low to moderate” Santos looked great against Cro Cop and it would’ve been awesome to see his skills against a contender like Gonzaga. Other than that, it’s not a fight to lose sleep over.
UPDATE - Dos Santos is facing Gilbert Yvel at UFC 108
8. UFC 99 – Cain Velasquez vs Heath Herring
What Happened: Heath canceled due to an injury. Cheick Kongo stepped in a few weeks before the fight with little time to train and was beaten by unanimous decision.
Disappointment Level: “Moderate” At this point, people were more interested in this rising star than they were the matchup. We were just as satisfied seeing Cain maul Kongo.

St-Pierre of Fitch:
“He’s a very, very tough guy, I’m gonna have to train hard and be very well prepared because he may be my toughest fight yet.”
Jon Fitch:
“The whole goal is to get the belt and be in the position where guys can’t duck me, run away, or say they don’t want to fight me, if I have the belt, there’s no excuse, and if you say you’re the best, then we’re gonna fight. This is gonna be a tough fight, but I’m gonna make sure I’m sharp that night, and wherever the fight needs to go, that’s fine with me.”
UFC 87 also features heavyweight Brock Lesnar taking on a soon to be named opponent. Lesnar was originally scheduled to face UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman, but a knee injury has forced ‘The Hammer’ to withdraw from the show.

During Post UFC 82 Conference Dana White said:
“This kid, in my opinion…he has the Chuck Liddell mentality. This kid will fight anyone, anywhere… He’s definitely paid his dues. He is in line for a title shot once this whole Matt Serra and Georges St. Pierre thing gets figured out.“
