Rumour has it that American Top Team light heavyweight and the man set to co-main event UFC 108 alongside Rashad Evans on January 2nd has suffered an ankle injury during training.

The news comes via Figure Four Weekly who also reveal the UFC are making it worth the Brazilian’s time to remain a part of the already massively injury hit card. It must be noted that this is an unconfirmed report.

This comes hot on the heels of today’s news that former PRIDE star, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira has been forced to withdraw from his UFC 109 fight with Brandon Vera, putting even further pressure on the promotions roster.

This is kind of crazy. I understand that there have been a lot of injuries lately, but if the guy is hurt, don't try to persuade him to fight.

TweetWHY WOULD THE UFC WANT YOU TO FIGHT IF YOUR REALLY INJURED AND IF THEY WANTED YOU TO DO THAT THEN THERE ASSES

TweetWell, think about this case. If Thiago is really injured then that may make it easier for Rashad to come away with an easier less damage win. Then they can set up a huge fight with Rashad and Rampage

then how the hell can you say the UFC is stupid for asking him to fight a little banged up... everyone fights banged up, or plays.. then you should know better

TweetThe ufc compared to baseball or basketball dude cmon big difference there, You get preety banged up in the ufc compared to baseball.just like tnz said if the guy is hurt dont ask him to fight if he's that banged up.Because if he's that banged up he'll probably lose and dont we want to see a good fight

Okay, we are talking about two different things here. 1. The article says he is "injured" and not just hurt as you put it. 2. If Thiago comes up and says "I want to fight anyway", that is one thing. But if he thinks the injury will hurt his chances to win and then the UFC pushes on him to fight anyway, then that is a little different. If Thiago decides he doesn't want to fight, then the money was not that important.
