The UFC injury bug didn’t remain in 2012 as Erick Silva is the latest fight to pull out of a fight; he’s out of his UFC fight in his native Brazil due to an undisclosed injury.

Tyron Woodley, whose last fight was a TKO loss to Nate Marquardt for the Strikeforce welterweight title, is stepping into his place against Jay Hieron.
