Neck injury forces Alan Jouban out of UFC Hamburg fight against Danny Roberts

Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight Alan Jouban announced he won’t be facing Danny Roberts in Germany next weekend. The four-time UFC “Fight of the Night” winner took to Instagram on Thursday to reveal a nagging neck injury that may require surgery to correct.

Jouban (16-6) and Roberts were set to fight on the Fox Sports 1-televised main card of UFC Fight Night 134 on July 22, but a bulging disc in Jouban’s neck forced the 36-year-old off of the card, as first reported by MMA Today.
