LAS VEGAS – For the first time in his UFC career, Nikita Krylov was forced out of competing, but is now ready to go two weeks later.
At UFC Fight Night 220, Krylov (29-9 MMA, 10-7 UFC) was set to headline opposite Ryan Spann at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Krylov’s 18th fight with the promotion would have served as his first main event, however, a fight-day illness forced him out just hours before the bout against Spann (21-7 MMA, 7-2 UFC).
Both fighters made it to the venue on fight day, but there would be no fight. The pair met in the back and exchanged brief words before going their separate ways.
