The WEC pay-per-view coming up on April 24 has suffered its first set back as Iranian born fighter, Kamal Shalorus, has been forced out of his lightweight showdown with former champion, Jamie Varner, due to injury.

Varner made the announcement via his Twitter page on Wednesday night, and confirmed the news independently to MMAWeekly.com by text message as well.

At this time, there's no official word about what injury forced Shalorus out of the bout, but according to Varner it's enough that will keep him out of the April fight.

Hmm, I forgot Njokuani will already be fighting Roller.My suggestion? Sign Eric Wisely (dude who just TKOed Hermes Franca in January) and give him the fight.

Was definetely looking forward to this one. Only good news is still 6-weeks to find a good replacement.
