Pellegrino injured, out of TUF Finale

(via AOL Fanhouse) · October 30, 2009 · 12:26 PM

Three herniated disks have forced UFC lightweight Kurt Pellegrino to withdraw from his scheduled Dec. 5 bout with Frankie Edgar according to reports from AOL Fanhouse. Edgar tweeted the news that the bout had been scrapped on Friday.

Edgar, who last fought at UFC 98 in May, is likely to remain on the card at The Ultimate Fighter Finale. Matt Veach has been rumored as the leading candidate to take Pellegrino's place.
