Even with the postponement of the contest, strawweight veteran Michelle Waterson will not be able to compete against Amanda Ribas on May 7th.
Waterson’s removal from UFC 274 was confirmed by MMA Fighting following an initial report from Combate. This matchup was previously booked for UFC Columbus in March before it was pushed back due to what Waterson described as a potential career-threatening injury if not properly taken care of.
Ribas (11-2) awaits a new opponent as she looks for her second straight win. The Brazilian began her UFC career a red-hot 4-0, including handing Mackenzie Dern her first MMA loss and Paige VanZant an armbar defeat in her final UFC appearance.
