Taila Santos injured, out of UFC Uruguay fight with Ariane Carnelossi

Ariane Carnelossi needs a new opponent for UFC Uruguay after Taila Santos withdrew from the card with a wrist injury, sources told MMA Fighting. The Fight Night card is scheduled to go down at the Antel Arena in Montevideo on Aug. 10.

Santos (15-1), who suffered her first professional loss to Mara Romero Borella in her UFC debut in February, was originally scheduled to face Ashlee Evans-Smith in Montevideo, but Carnelossi eventually stepped in to replace Evans-Smith.

It’s still unclear if the UFC will be able to find a new foe for Carnelossi (12-1), who signed with the promotion to fight Santos in Uruguay on short notice after winning 12 in a row in Brazil.
