On Friday there were rumors swirling that UFC welterweight Matt Brown would be forced to withdraw from his UFC on FOX 9 main card bout with Carlos Condit due to injuries. Front Row Brian broke the story on Friday evening and on Saturday those rumors came to fruition when Brown took to Twitter to confirm that he had herniated two discs in his lower back this week.
Matt Brown withdraws from UFC on FOX 9 bout with Carlos Condit
Thanks for the support guys. I regret to inform all that I am out of the fight with Condit. I herniated 2 discs in my lower back this week.

Brown (18-11) is riding an amazing six-fight winning streak, with his last four coming by brutal knockout finishes. Most recently “The Immortal” stopped Mike Pyle just 29-seconds in to the very first round of their UFC Fight Night 26 bout.
No word on if the UFC is seeking a replacement for Carlos Condit.
UFC on FOX 9 goes down on December 14 from the Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, California. The main event features a rematch for the flyweight title between Demetrious Johnson and Joseph Benavidez.
