An injury has forced bantamweight Bryan Caraway (18-6 MMA, 3-1 UFC) off this month’s UFC 170 card, the UFC today announced.
His scheduled opponent, Lucas Martins (14-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC), now awaits a new opponent.
UFC 170 takes place Feb. 22 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
The fight is currently slated for the FOX Sports 1 prelims.
Caraway had hoped to build off his recent 4-1 run.
Martins, meanwhile, suffered his first career loss in his UFC debut, where Edson Barboza made him tap out due to strikes. However, since the late-notice bout, the Brazilian has rebounded with stoppage wins over Jeremy Larsen, which earned him a “Knockout of the Night” bonus, and Junior Hernandez, which marked his debut at bantamweight.
The latest UFC 170 card now includes:
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view, 10 p.m. ET)
PRELIMINARY CARD (FOX Sports 1, 8 p.m. ET)
PRELIMINARY CARD (UFC Fight Pass, 7 p.m. ET)
