In your opinion, Name the 1 UFC card most effected by injury pullouts from Fighters

[Mikeyz]

Mine is definitely UFC 158.

Ohhhh how the Rory injury that occured before that card had a huge impact on the WW division.

The Expected top 3 fights on that card were supposed to be

Hendricks vs Ellenberger

Condit vs Rory (for the title eliminator)

and obviously GSP vs Diaz.

But, after Rory got hurt, we ended up seeing

Ellenberger vs Marquardt

Condit vs Hendricks (Which obviously turned out to be the title eliminator)

And GSP vs Diaz.

Man ohhhhh man, I never realized how much that injury to Rory could have potentially changed the landscape of the WW division that much.

Rory could have easily beaten Condit to become the #1 contender for GSP's title and what if that happened? Would GSP have moved up to MW? GSP's fight with Hendricks may never have happened and Ellenberger has the perfect fighting style to beat Hendricks (a wrestler with KO power in his hands)

Obviously we will never know what might have happened, but, it's fun to think about isn't it?

What's yours?

P.S, I am ready for the "If My aunt had balls she would be my uncle" comments, so, bring them on!! Because I know I was speaking with alot of "what if's" in this thread, lol.

The calgary card....... Started strong ended up being a complete shit show.

I think it's UFC 108. From it's Wikipedia page:

The card for UFC 108 was plagued with numerous injuries, with multiple potential fights being called off as a result.
A proposed main event featured UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva facing off against former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Vitor Belfort. However, it was announced by Silva's manager, Ed Soares, that the fight would not happen at UFC 108 because Silva would not be fully healed from elbow surgery.
A bout between Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin for the UFC Heavyweight Championship was rescheduled from UFC 106 to UFC 108, but this fight did not take place due to a continuing medical condition suffered by Lesnar.[4]

the one where Dan Henderson hurt his knee and kept it a secret a couple weeks then backed out of main event vs Jon Jones and the whole event was scrapped

[CageSage]

Your suggestion is so bad, I can't even tell if you're kidding. Rory Mac not fighting ruined 158? Him fighting Ellenberger ruined my night whenever they fought.

 

[ajmonsta]

This. The one that got canceled.

 

[MikeyCanFly]

ufc 151 done

 

[The Taxman]

You know what, Mikey? If my aunt had balls she would.. oh damn it. Nevermind

 

[xP]

Rory would have gotten whooped. Hendricks would have gotten a title shot (if he won) if Rory won his decision anyway.

Condit/Hendricks was a great fight so it really wasn't that bad imo.

 

[JAB2013]

There's nothing 'opinionative' about it.

 

[muaythaibeast]

Apart from the event hendo got cancelled and got away blame free, probably 149, and it ended up the worst mma event I've ever seen by any promotion.

UFC 146 the heavyweight card. Every single fight on the main card changed and Evan dunham was supposed to fight on the prelims too

 

[frandie2b]

I think I remember UFC 85 got couple of fights cancelled. It was a great card at the start and ended in a shitty one.

 

[Flying Kneebar**]

UFC 133 was pretty bad with injuries but 151, 108, 149 are more obvious choices. UFC 153 was in shambles before Big Nog and Anderson stood up

 

[FlameBallKid]

151 is the only answer

 

[Fists of Fire]

The Pettis vs Thomson later Mighty Mouse vs Benavidez Fox card.

Was planning on going before it went to utter shit.

 

[rondog6669]

Ufc 151

 

[99Silva]

The one where they had to cancel the entire event because Jones pulled out. The card didn't even happen.
