Alves still not cleared to fight

As most of you probably know, Thiago Alves had failed his last CT scan in order to fight Jon Fitch on the UFC 111 card in New Jersey; Alves had to undergo brain-surgery to repair a fistula on the left side of his brain that they found in the scan. This operation was reported as a success and Thiago was scheduled to fight Jon Fitch on the June 12th card in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. However this leaves about 6 weeks to the fight and Alves still has not been medically cleared. So to be safe the UFC has decided to move the bout to the August 7th card in Oakland, CA!!!
