Four fighters out of UFC Montevideo, Polyana Viana steps in for Rachael Ostovich

UFC Montevideo has been hit full force by the injury bug, with four more fighters forced from the card—just under two weeks out from the event. Ashlee Evans-Smith was the first to fall, back in early July, withdrawing from her planned bout with Taila Santos.

Now it’s Santos who has been forced off the card, with Super Lutas reporting that a wrist injury has seen her out of a bout against Ariane Carnelossi—who replaced Evans-Smith. It’s unknown at the moment whether Carnelossi will remain on the card against a new opponent or be rebooked at a later date.
