Stefan Struve out of UFC Halifax headliner against Junior Dos Santos due to injury

STEFAN STRUVE HAS PULLED OUT from his main event fight against Junior Dos Santos as UFC Halifax after suffering a shoulder injury.

Struve noted on his Instagram account that he tore labrum in his left shoulder and would need surgery. The event is set to take place on February 19 in Halifax and Struve was coming in with a two fight winning streak. UFC will be looking to reshuffle the main event after Struve’s pull out.

 

Bad news folks. Unfortunately I won't be able to fight in Halifax february 19, I'll be undergoing surgery to fix a torn labrum in my left shoulder tomorrow afternoon. Docter said I will be on the sideline about 4 months, and of course I'm gonna be doing my best to make it back asap. I apologize to the fans, especially the people who bought tix for the fight in Halifax, and of course the person I was scheduled to fight @junior_cigano . It's the very first time I have to pull out of a fight because of an injury and it hurts my heart to do it. I'll keep you guys up to date about the surgery tomorrow and the rehab the next couple months. As always thank you for the support!
