This weekend’s UFC Fight Island 6 card has lost its co-main event.
Rising heavyweight prospect Cyril Gane and Ante Delija may have spent time on the basketball court in Abu Dhabi this week, but they won’t be able to fight each other this weekend. The UFC announced that contract issues have prevented Delija from making his Octagon debut against the Frenchman, and as a result neither Gane nor Delija will be fighting on Fight Island.
What are those contract issues, you ask? Well they’re on Delija’s side, and per ESPN’s Ariel Helwani it is stemming from the Professional Fighters League’s claim that Ante is still under contract with them even though they’ve held no events this year.
