A key middleweight fight has been scrapped from the UFC’s return to Las Vegas later this month.
Uriah Hall (17-10 MMA, 10-8 UFC) is out of his planned fight against Andre Muniz (22-4 MMA, 4-0 UFC) at UFC on ESPN 34. Although the UFC has yet to make an official announcement that Hall is out, Muniz’s manager, Alex Davis, confirmed an initial report from MMA Fighting by saying on Twitter that Dricus du Plessis did not accept a matchup with Muniz.
Du Plessis on Friday stepped in on short notice to face Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 273 in a week. But not long after the bout agreement was signed, Gastelum had to pull out of the fight, leaving du Plessis without a fight just hours after he had one.
