Spencer Fisher out due to injury!!

Sherdog.com is reporting that Lightweight fighter Spencer Fisher has had to pull out of his April 2nd bout with former PRIDE fighter Marcus Aurelio due to a shoulder injury. Having lost a unanimous decision to a dominant Frankie Edgar in his last outing at UFC 78, Fisher had hoped that a win over Aurelio would put him back on the track towards title contention.

It seems that the chances are good that Marcus Aurelio will now face Jim Miller instead. Millerm currently has a 10-1 record and is on a five win streak that includes four choke submissions and a TKO coming into his UFC debut.

Aurelio should take this fight - but I feel he lucked out, I thought Spencer was gonna KO him in round one
