Veronica Macedo out of UFC Sao Paulo, Ariane Lipski’s new opponent misses weight

Yet another opponent for Ariane Lipski has been removed from the upcoming UFC Sao Paulo card. Originally paired up against Priscila Cachoeira – who tested positive for a banned diuretic – the ‘Queen of Violence’ was then re-booked for a bout against Veronica Macedo. Unfortunately, according to La Sueur.com’s report, the Venezuelan has also been forced from the card due to health issues, citing strong headaches.

Instead, Lipski will take on Octagon newcomer Isabella de Padua (5-1), who took the fight on just 48-hours notice (as reported by MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz). Padua, however, missed the flyweight mark, weighing at 130.
