Unfortunately for native Canadian Nick Ring, he will not be taking part in the UFC’s return to The Great White North tonight as UFC officials announced that he has fallen ill, having his middleweight bout with Costa Philippou pulled from UFC 154.
Consequently, a lightweight bout between grappling specialists Rafael Dos Anjos (17-6) and Mark Bocek (11-4) has been promoted to the coveted main card slot. The Brazilian is currently on a two-fight win-streak, having taken victories over Anthony Njokuani and Kamal Shalorus, as is the Canadian who took victories over Nik Lentz and John Alessio.

That really stinks! Besides the main and co-main this was one of the only fights that I was really looking forward to. He looked fine at the weigh-ins. Any word on what kind of illness it is?
Flu has been going around up there. GSP cancelled some appearances trying to avoid it.
Yeah, i forgot who it was, but one of our press row buddies came down with it too.
