Del Rosario out injured, Dave Herman now meets Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 162

Gabriel Gonzaga saves the day

An undisclosed injury has forced Shane Del Rosario out of the UFC 162 card and Gabriel Gonzaga will step in to take his place and fight Dave Herman.

The ADCC grappling specialist Gonzaga needs to get back on track. After a resurgence of late he suffered a knockout loss to Travis Browne last time out. The defeat was however controversial as many believe he was stopped due to illegal blows to the back of the head. The fight should perhaps have been ruled as a no contest.

Herman is on a losing skid of his own and really needs to win if he has hopes of sticking around in the UFC. He's on a three fight losing streak after being stopped by Stefan Struve, Roy Nelsen and Antonio Nogueira. He also tested positive for marijuana after his most recent loss at the hands of Nogueira in a battle which he went in to the fight declaring that BJJ wouldn't work on him. This back fired as Big Nog got the win via submission.
