Ben Rothwell vs. Phillipe Lins, Ricardo Ramos vs. Zubaira Tukhugov scratched from UFC Vegas 21

Not one, but two fights are gone from UFC Vegas 21 just like that.

A featherweight bout between Ricardo Ramos and Zubaira Tukhugov has been scrapped after Tukhugov withdrew due to injury. Unfortunately for Ramos, officials were unable to find a replacement opponent so he’s off the card as well (per MMA Fighting).

Ramos (14-3) fought just once in 2020, losing by first-round TKO to Lerone Murphy. The 25-year-old Brazilian nevertheless holds an impressive record of 5-2 in the UFC, with notable wins coming over Aiemann Zahabi and Kyung Ho Kang. His other Octagon defeat came against Said Nurmagomedov.
