Maldonado Injured, Out of UFC Live 6 Clash with Rosa


Heavy-handed Brazilian Fabio Maldonado (pictured) has suffered an undisclosed injury and will not compete against Aaron Rosa as originally anticipated at UFC Live 6, the promotion announced Wednesday. Headlined by a bantamweight title fight pitting champion Dominick Cruz against challenger Demetrious Johnson, UFC Live 6 goes down Oct. 1 from the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. Also featuring a heavyweight contest between Pat Barry and Stefan Struve, the event marks the promotion's first trip to the U.S. capital. Maldonado recently had an 11-fight winning streak snapped in his sophomore Octagon effort on June 4 at “The Ultimate Fighter 14” finale. After debuting successfully with the world's largest promotion at UFC 120 this past October, the 31-year-old was bested by Kyle Kingsbury this summer. Though Maldonado displayed solid boxing throughout the contest, attacking both Kingsbury's head and body with stiff shots, it was not enough to sway the judges' scores in his favor.

The Team Nogueira representative owns 12 of his 18 career MMA victories by knockout. Maldonado also holds a perfect pro boxing record, posting 22 wins with 21 knockouts.
