The UFC’s long-awaited return to Iowa is down a fighter after a scheduled light heavyweight clash saw both fighters withdraw due to injury.
On Tuesday, the promotion announced that the 205-pound bout between Junior Tafa and Tuco Tokkos is off the docket this Saturday at Wells Fargo Arena due to both fighters suffering injuries. Details regarding the injuries were not disclosed, and the promotion is expected to rebook the fight for a later date, once both athletes are good to go.
Tafa was coming off a second-round TKO victory over Sean Sharaf this past October that snapped a two-fight skid.
