Sanchez out of Hughes bout due to injury

The UFC 135 card in Denver on September 24th will see a change in the co-main event, as UFC President Dana White announced Monday via Twitter that Diego Sanchez has been forced out of his bout with Hall of Famer Matt Hughes due to injury.

"Diego Sanchez broke his hand. Looking for a replacement for Hughes," tweeted White.

In the UFC 135 main event, light heavyweight champion Jon Jones defends his crown against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.


Rumor is that Josh Koscheck will be Sanchez's replacement.

Still waiting to hear back from the UFC. I have said “yes” to facing either Koscheck or Fitch at UFC 135. I should know more later. (Follow Matt on Twitter at http://twitter.com/#!/matthughes9x )

I just got off the phone with DW and it looks like Josh for the 24th.
