“Dooms Day” Jason Day (17-7) has pulled out of UFC 88 due to injury; but, fellow Canadian “Athlete” Jason Macdonald (20-10) will take his place opposite “Punisher” Jason Lambert (23-8) in Atlanta 6 September.
According to Sportsnet, Day is suffering from an elbow and bicep injury.
“There is no range of motion in my arm, I can’t rotate it all,” Day said. “Good news for JayMac though.”
MacDonald was defeated earlier this month by Demain Maia (8-0) by rear naked choke, and sees this as “a chance to erase a loss that just happened.” He added, “If you fall off the horse you have to get right back on.”
