No, seriously.
The planned headliner for Saturday’s event between UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson and challenger Ray Borg has been called off less than 12 hours before the fighters were set to hit the scales.
MMA Fighting first reported the late scratch, and MMAjunkie subsequently confirmed the change with multiple UFC officials. A formal announcement is expected shortly.
A women’s bantamweight title fight between champ Amanda Nunes and Valentina Shevchenko, originally scheduled for the night’s co-headliner, now serves as the new main event.
UFC 215 takes place Saturday at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The night’s main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
