Velasquez off UFC 207 card as NSAC won't OK

Earlier this week, Velasquez, 34, told ESPN.com he had suffered from back pain during training camp and was already scheduled to undergo surgery on Jan. 4. The San Jose-based heavyweight said he had relied on Cannabidiol (CBD) to dull the pain enough to train.

"It's an achy pain that goes down your leg, and it gets to a point where if you're standing for 10 minutes, you have to sit down," Velasquez told ESPN.com. "If you're going out for a while, a half-hour, you know it's going to be pretty painful. You have to sit down and take the compression off your back."

Despite those revelations, both Velasquez and his longtime coach Javier Mendez insisted the fighter would be fine to face Werdum. The fight was supposed to be a rematch of a heavyweight title fight that took place in June 2015.

"As far as preparation, I've done everything," Velasquez said. "I've sparred, wrestled. I'm not missing workouts at all. I've done my conditioning -- everything. I feel great going into this."

According to sources, the NSAC still canceled the bout for fighter safety due to Velasquez's comments regarding the injury.

I think Ronda is going to get her clock cleaned then hang 'em up to make babies. Dusting cans for her entire career filled her with false confidence. The lost to Holm ruined her

I agree with Jive, with one exception.

She will go to the wwe after her mma career is slammed shut. What better place for her to regain false confidence than to go "earn" a scripted title?

Or will catch Ronda with a flush left hand that is failed to be blocked by this great shield. Thus becoming the 2nd princess this week to be sent off riding into the sunset.
