Another week, another set of fight cancellations. Along with news that a planned women’s bantamweight bout between Aspen Ladd and Leslie Smith won’t be going ahead, due to Ladd missing weight, it looks like a flyweight contest between Magomed Bibulatov and Ulka Sasaki is off as well.
MMA Fighting reports that Bibulatov was removed from the card on Friday morning ahead of scheduled early weigh ins. According to Ariel Helwani, the culprit appears to be an ongoing back injury.
Magomed Bibulatov has been forced to withdraw from tomorrow’s fight against Ulka Sasaki at UFC Atlantic City, sources say.
