Dude! Dude. Dude. Dude... Ariel Helwani just let the world know that Rory MacDonald has injured himself and is out of his UFC 158 rematch with Carlos Condit and his return is un-freaking-known. This hurts doubly because we were looking forward to Rory displaying his new 2013 spring wardrobe to our fashion-deprived senses, and now that his guaranteed-to-be-rawesome fight against Carlos Condit has been violently thrown out, it's left a Rory MacDonald-sized hole that someone, anyone needs to fill... With style. Don't forget that part. Whoever takes this fight has to wear at least one dress sweater or what's the point, really?

Who could it be? Tyron Woodley made it known to the world that he wanted to take on MacDonald or anyone else on this specific card if there was an injury, now it seems like T-Wood may have sent his number one fan on a ninja mission to get him up the ladder a little quicker (kidding).

Maybe T-wood faces Condit, maybe Tarec Saffiedine does. Maybe Frankie Edgar gets the call. What we do know is that this is a bummer.

*UPDATE: Johny Hendricks is now facing Carlos Condit with Jake Ellenberger left opponent-less and miffed.

Melvin Manhoef for his 170lb debut.

More realistically: Maia or Hendricks moves up and Woodley fights Ellenberger.

McDonald and Ricci played it a little too rough at the gym. Not like in a gay way or anything.

Damien Maia, T. Woodley, Melvin Manhoef debut...ALL EQUALLY EFFECTIVE.... p.s. MacDonald is an aching vagina for calling out Carlos than calling out of the fight.

After Diaz finishes GSP. I hope Nicks first title defense is against Rory. That should be one helluva fight

That's the only way Rory will be willing to fight for the belt. He'll never be willing to fight GSP, even if he holds the belt.

Makes more sense for saffiedine to get the fight so long as he is willing to take it

So jake, lets get this straight.

Hendricks should not have even taken a fight with you to begin with

Hes now fighting a guy you lost to

Whom you followed up with by beating a a bunch of mid tier fighters at best

Beat jake shields who should not been in the cage to begin with

Was losing the last round and possibly the fight if it went to five rounds with a lightweight sanchez

Get blasted by a guy whom hendricks sent back in time with a single punch

Gets a boring inactive win in a fight with a usually exciting hieron

And you give hendricks shit for taking a tougher fight? FUCK YOU VERY MUCH

Ps, finding a way out is not fighting a badass condit, its faking an injury and not having enuf roids to recover like rory.

Would've preferred to see Woodley in there, but I guess this makes more sense at the moment.

Nate is higher profile and holds a win over Tyrone.

Ellenberger is right, Hendricks should climb down about 5 spots on the UFC Welterweight ladder to fight a guy who's lesser known, rather than fight the former interim champ/# 1 contender. Makes alot of sense.
