Heavyweight matchups change ahead of PFL 6 with Fabricio Werdum, Mohammed Usman out

New heavyweight matchups have now been announced for the upcoming PFL 6 card on June 25 after both Fabricio Werdum and Mohammed Usman were forced out of their respective fights.

MMA Fighting previously reported that Werdum would be unable to compete after he was not medically cleared to compete again so soon after he was knocked out in his fight against Renan Ferreira. While the result of that fight was eventually overturned to a no-contest when replays showed Ferreira had tapped out from a triangle choke, Werdum still took the damage afterward that will now keep him out of action for an extended period of time.
