Patrick Cummins out of UFC Fight Night 102 on Dec. 9 due to staph infection

It appears as if a very nasty staph infection (shown below) will knock Patrick Cummins out of his upcoming light heavyweight tilt with New York native Gian Villante at UFC Fight Night 102 on Dec. 9 from Albany, N.Y., as the 36-year-old wrestler recently took to Twitter to reveal the graphic news.
