Jeff “the Snowman” Monson has pulled out of the upcoming Gracie Fighting Championships (GFC) on May 19th 2007, due to a shoulder injury. His first scheduled opponent, Wes Sims, will also be off the card due to a medical suspension. Sims recently participated in the Art of War II event in Texas and lost a unanimous decision victory to Chris Guillen.
