UFC 275 loses PPV bout at the last minute, fight card shuffled

UFC 275 is down a fight.

Marcel Dorff of Eurosport Nederland reported that Rogério Bontorin was transported to the hospital several hours ago. Adriano Albuquerque and Evelyn Rodrigues of Combate revealed Bontorin had a bad weight cut and experienced pain in his kidneys trying to shed off the remaining 4.5 pounds, which led to the cancelation of his flyweight fight against Manel Kape.

Bontorin vs. Kape was one of the featured fights on the pay-per-view portion of UFC 275 on Saturday. There is no word on whether it will be rescheduled again. The flyweights were previously booked for UFC 252, but Bontorin was forced to withdraw due to an ankle injury.
