Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos has been forced to withdraw from his bout with Stipe Miocic at "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3" finale on May 31 in Sao Paolo, Brazil due to a fractured hand. Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys . Mixed martial arts website Combate initially reported the injury with the UFC later confirming on Monday. "Im really sad. I apologize to my fans, to the UFC and to my opponent, Stipe Miocic, and hope to have another opportunity to fight in Brazil once my hand is healed," dos Santos said in a statement. The heavyweight fight between dos Santos and Miocic was originally moved into the main event slot after the reality shows coaches fight between Wanderlei Silva and Chael Sonnen was pushed to UFC 175 in July after Silva injured his hand in an on-set scuffle with Sonnen. Now, Grace Tourinho, the UFCs CEO in Brazil, told Combate that the promotion will try to replace dos Santos or find a new main event all together. The main card will feature the "TUF: Brazil 3" middleweight and heavyweight finals, as well as a welterweight fight between Demian Maia and Alexander Yakovlev and a featherweight contest between Rony Jason and Robbie Peralta.
