Kamal Shalorus Not Cleared for WEC 48

WEC 48 is going to lose the lightweight bout between former WEC champion Jamie Varner (16-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and undefeated up-and-comer Kamal Shalorus (6-0-1 MMA). Shalorus was not cleared as a result of a few lingering injuries, according to a report by MMAJunkie.

Shalorus was looking to make this third WEC fight, after a Unanimous Decision win over M-1 veteran and previously undefeated David Jansen (14-1 MMA) back in January. A win over a former title holder like Varner would put Shalorus in title contention.

Speculation suggests that Varner will be dropped from the card altogether, meaning that he will likely fight Shalorus at a later date, once Shalorus’ injuries are no longer prevent him from competing.
