Nina Ansaroff vs. Rose Namajunas removed from UFC 187 lineup

Nina Ansaroff's flu-like symptoms have forced her out of the UFC 187 women's strawweight fight vs. Rose Namajunas.

Only one fighter missed weight at yesterday's UFC 187 weigh-ins, and now she's been forced off the card entirely. Women's strawweight Nina Ansaroff came in at 120 lbs, 4 pounds over the limit, for her fight against Rose Namajunas, but both parties agreed to a catchweight. However, UFC officials confirmed today that Ansaroff has been suffering from the flu and the bout has been scrapped altogether. Via The MMA Report's Jason Floyd, Ansaroff released this statement through her management company:

"I feel just horrible about this," Ansaroff said.
