Earlier today it was announced that UFC welterweight Matt Brown was forced to withdraw from his UFC on FOX 9 bout with Carlos Condit due to two herniated discs.

Later in the day Carlos Condit’s management company released an official statement about the cancellation of the fight.

Carlos Condit releases official statement regarding UFC on FOX 9 fight cancellation

I was greatly disappointed to hear of Matt Brown’s injury. This was a fight that I was looking forward to immensely, and I know it was a fight the fans have been excited to see. When the fight does happen, I promise that the wait will be worth it.

Right now I’m going to spend time with my family over the holidays, and hope that Matt heals up quickly so that we can reschedule this fight soon.

Thanks to all of the fans out there for their support.
