Damn, I really like Cummo a lot. I wonder what happened. I just hope that when he comes back he'll have gotten over all of that pre-fight fasting stuff.

That's a shame. I always like watching Luke fight...even if they do stick him on the undercard a lot.
Welterweight Luke Cummo has been forced to pull out of a planned Dec. 10 bout vs. Steve Bruno during UFC Fight Night 16: �UFC Fights for the Troops� in Fayetteville, North Carolina due to injury.
FiveOuncesOfPain.com learned of the development from a source close to one of the fighters last night. The source went on to add that Cummo�s spot on the show will be filled by Johnny Rees.
Rees, 10-1, made his UFC debut during UFC Fight Night 14 this past July, losing to fellow newcomer Nate Loughran due to a first round submission following a guillotine choke.
Bruno, 11-4, trains out of American Top Team in Florida and is coming off a loss in his UFC debut at UFC 87. Facing Chris Wilson, Bruno lost a unanimous decision.
In addition to fighting for the UFC, Bruno has also competed in the IFL and in South Korea�s SpiritMC, where he knocked out Jae Suk Lim at SpiritMC 11 in April of 2007.
UFN 16 will be a three-hour telecast on SpikeTV and is expected to be headlined by matches featuring Mike Swick vs. Jonathan Goulet, Brian Stann vs. Steve Cantwell, and Frankie Edgar vs. Matt Wiman. |
