If you’re keeping track at home, UFC Fight Night 137 had its headliner change for the third time following the sudden injury withdrawal of Jimi Manuwa . Glover Teixeira originally was supposed to fight Manuwa, but Teixeira was  knocked out with a shoulder injury . Thiago Santos  stepped in for Teixeira  to face Manuwa but will now meet Eryk Anders , who is moving up to light heavyweight to take the bout on six days’ notice. Manuwa (17-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) broke his silence Tuesday on Instagram , explaining that he tore his hamstring while running sprints after he’d already arrived in Brazil for UFC Fight Night 137. I’m truly gutted.
