According to Sherdog:
Todd Duffee has pulled out of his heavyweight bout against Paul Buentello at UFC 107 on Dec. 12 in Memphis, Tenn., due to an injury.
"(Withdrawing) was one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make," said Duffee, who would not disclose the nature of his injury.
The article goes on to say that Stefan Struve and Mike Russow are possible replacements to face Buentello who is fighting in the UFC for the first time since UFC 53. The injury bug is in full effect lately.

there sure seems like a lot of injuries have happened lately.
i like the days when chuck liddell and randy couture would fight injured. they were true warriors. i’n not saying if you have a totally blown out knee or some serious injury but this is gettting ridiculous. think duffee is scared of an experienced paul “the headhunter” buentello. when they don’t disclose the injury it kinda makes me wonder.

Yeah totally agree
I mean he is fighting in the south, close to where he grew up. I mean the guy has shown signs of being scared before when in his forth fight he fought an unexperinced Assuerio Silva in Brazil. And when Duffee beat Sliva the crowd was going insane, totally scared.
