After losing Islam Makhachev, Eryk Anders and Saparbek Safarov during fight week, the promotion just saw another bout fall through only hours prior to the event’s start. Per MMA Junkie’s John Morgan, a bantamweight bout between Louis Smolka and Jose Alberto Quinonez is now out of the picture, as well.
Although no reason for the cancellation was provided yet, all signs lead to weight problems on Smolka’s side. At the official weigh-ins, ‘Da Last Samurai’ missed the bantamweight mark by three pounds, though the bout was then set to procede at a 139-pound catchweight.
