The Northwest Indiana Times is reporting that Sean Sherk is off the UFC 108 card:

Former lightweight champion Sean Sherk has suffered an injury and will not fight on the Jan. 2 UFC 108 card, The Times learned Thursday from sources close to Sherk's camp. Sherk reportedly was scheduled to fight Jim Miller, though the bout had not yet officially been announced by the organization. Ironically, Sherk was replacing Tyson Griffin, who just last week was forced off the card with an injury of his own.

There really are no words to explain the luck of this card. Guys are getting injured one after another, the guys who replace guys who got injured are getting injured, and one of the main event fighters is rumored to be hurt but being paid to not pull out.

No matter what kind of front Dana is putting up, the promotion is not thinking of this card as business as usual. I'm just sure everyone is ready to see January 2 come and go.

Stepping in to replace Sherk will be Duane "Bang" Ludwig who will return to the UFC for the first time since 2006 to take on Jim Miller in a 155lb contest.
