Daniel Pineda vs. Jamall Emmers scrapped from UFC on ESPN 36

UFC on ESPN 36 is one fight the lesser.

The featherweight bout between Daniel Pineda (27-14 MMA, 4-5 UFC) and Jamall Emmers (18-6 MMA, 1-2 UFC) has been scrapped from the upcoming May 14 card at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas for undisclosed reasons.

Two people with knowledge of the cancellation recently informed MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. One source added the matchup may remain in tact and be moved to a later date.

Both Pineda and Emmers sought returns to the win column after recent winless outings. Pineda is 0-1 with three no contests in his most recent four bouts. Meanwhile, Emmers has lost two of his most recent three.

With the cancellation, the UFC on ESPN 36 lineup includes:

  • Jan Blachowicz vs. Aleksandar Rakic
  • Katlyn Chookagian vs. Amanda Ribas
  • Ion Cutelaba vs. Ryan Spann
  • Michael Johnson vs. Alan Patrick
  • Viviane Araujo vs. Andrea Lee
  • Frank Camacho vs. Manuel Torres
  • Angela Hill vs. Virna Jandiroba
  • Nick Maximov vs. Andre Petroski
  • Davey Grant vs. Louis Smolka
  • Jake Hadley vs. Allan Nascimento
