Paul Taylor Injured in Car Crash, Fight With Anthony Njokuani Pulled From UFC 138


UFC 138 has taken a hit to the main card. A minor car crash has forced Paul Taylor to withdraw from his fight at UFC 138 against Anthony Njokuani.

Following a minor car accident Monday night in which he was rear-ended at a red light and suffered whiplash, lightweight Paul Taylor has been forced to withdraw from his UFC 138 bout with Anthony Njokuani. Due to the late nature of this card change, the bout will not be replaced, and the light heavyweight bout between Anthony Perosh and Cyrille Diabate will move to the main card.

With Njokuani vs. Taylor off the card, the bout between Anthony Perosh and Cyril Diabate has been bumped up to the main card for Spike TV.
