Props: DemandMMA

“To all My Fans, unfortunately i am not gonna be able to fight UFC 17 in Tampa Florida, i just tore my ACL on my right knee last saturday….

I think you  guys deserve to hear that from me.

I just want to take care of that , and Joe lauzon you’re lucky mother fucker lololol.(J/K)

Thank you UFC,my fans, friends for the support, i was training hard and i was so excited ,but there’s nothing i can do, (could be worse), so Hermes franca will take a break for some recovery,and come back  stronger than ever like i always do!!!!”

Well that’s some shitty news. I was really looking forward to seeing that fight, which was supposed to take place on Feb 7th aka a few weeks away. I’m sure the UFC is going to get on the ball and find a legit replacement for Lauzon, I keep getting an image of Spencer Fisher in my mind, that’d a be a badass fight right there and even more interesting than the Franca/Lauzon fight. Stay tuned for more updates….
