Three days after UFC Fight Night 69 booking, Uriah Hall pulled from card

Uriah Hall

It turns out Uriah Hall won’t be fighting at UFC Fight Night 69 overall.

Earlier this week, UFC officials announced Hall (10-5 MMA, 3-3 UFC) had stepped in as an injury replacement for Derek Brunson (13-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) and would fight fellow middleweight Krzysztof Jotko (15-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) at the overseas show.

However, UFC officials today said Hall has been pulled from the card due to “complications” with his visa. A replacement won’t be sought.

UFC Fight Night 69 takes place June 20 at O2 World Berlin in Germany’s capital city. The entire event, including a championship headliner between strawweight titleholder Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Jessica Penne, streams on UFC Fight Pass.

After a recent split-decision loss to Rafael Natal halted his three-fight winning streak, Hall was hoping to fight on a 28-day turnaround.

The full UFC Fight Night 69 lineup now includes:

MAIN CARD (UFC Fight Pass, 3 p.m. ET)

• Champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Jessica Penne – for strawweight title
• Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Dennis Siver
