Li Jingliang has been forced out of his UFC Fort Lauderdale bout against Alex Oliveira.

Power puncher Li Jingliang won’t be able to test his hands against the Brazilian Cowboy, Alex Oliveira.

According to Combate, the 31-year-old Chinese athlete was forced out of their bout at UFC Fort Lauderdale due to a neck injury that took place about two weeks ago. The UFC will look for a suitable replacement to take on Oliveira at the event.

Currenty on a two-fight winning streak, Li Jingliang (16-5) picked up a knockout win over David Zawada in November 2018 and an unanimous decision victory against Daichi Abe before that. The ‘Leech’ has not lost a fight since dropping a unanimous decision to Jake Matthews back in February 2018.
