source: mmajunkie.com

An arm injury has forced Pedro Rizzo (19-9) out of next month's ProElite 2 headliner with fellow ex-UFC heavyweight Tim Sylvia (29-7).

Rizzo today announced via Twitter that he recently suffered a partial tear of his left triceps tendon.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) could not immediately reach ProElite officials to determine if a Plan B is in place or if a replacement is being sought.

"So I would like to apologize to ... ProElite and specially to Tim Sylvia because I can't be in the ring on Nov. 5 to face him," Rizzo stated.

Gilbert's been training his ass off lately and is in great shape as a couple other fights fell apart. Would be great for him and the event
