UFC middleweight Ronny Markes (14-1) was injured in a car accident earlier today in Brazil, MMAFighting.com is reporting.
According to UFC President Dana White, Markes – who was scheduled to fight Derek Brunson at tomorrow’s UFC on Fuel 10 card – suffered a concussion, as well as neck and back injuries, in the accident. He has cancelled the fight, leaving the UFC on Fuel 10 card with 12 fights. White also confirmed that both Markes and Brunson will be getting paid their show money.
