LAS VEGAS ? The Ultimate Fighting Championship?

The rest of the card, which includes the UFC Middleweight title bout between Anderson ?The Spider? Silva and Travis Lutter, as well as the UFC debuts of Quinton ?Rampage? Jackson vs. Marvin Eastman and Mirko Cro Cop vs. Eddie Sanchez remain intact.
?Unfortunately Georges St. Pierre was injured in training and we?re hopeful that he?ll recover quickly,? said UFC President Dana White. ?We look forward to having Matt Serra?s title fight as soon as we can.?
UFC 67 features the championship middleweight bout between Anderson ?The Spider? Silva and Travis Lutter.
