Lutter Going Under Knife

The Ultimate Fighter’s fourth season champion “Serial Killer” Travis Lutter (9-5) will have his knee scoped 17 October.

“For the last couple of years I have had trouble with my right knee that has been steadily getting worse,” Lutter said.  “This has kept me from running etc., when I train for fights.”

Lutter has been criticized for his conditioning in the past.

Lutter hasn’t fought since getting TKO’d by Fighters.com’s second-ranked middleweight “Ace” Rich Franklin (24-3) in Montreal 19 April, subsequently getting axed by the UFC.

Lutter said, “I was hoping to fight before the end of the year but this will postpone my return to early 2009.”
