UFC Vegas 5: Trevin Giles vs. Kevin Holland cancelled after Giles faints backstage

A middleweight bout between Trevin Giles and Kevin Holland is now off of UFC Vegas 5.

This matchup was scheduled to open up the main card of this event, but UFC reporter Heidi Androl told viewers that Giles fainted backstage just before the walkouts were scheduled to happen. It was at that point that Nevada Athletic Commission decided that the fight could not continue.

Afterward, UFC broadcast footage showed Giles sitting on a chair and seemingly aware of his surroundings, but the commission had already called it off and he has since been transported to a local hospital for a full examination.
