Well, folks, we’ve got some news. UFC Fight Night 233 has taken a hit. We’re down to 11 bouts. A 140-pound catchweight clash is off the cards. The unlucky fighters? Daniel Marcos and Carlos Vera.
Why, you ask? Well, MMAjunkie.com got the scoop first. Visa issues for Marcos. Yeah, that old chestnut. The bout had only been added to the event recently too.
Now, don’t get too down. UFC Fight Night 233 is still happening this Saturday. Where, you ask? The UFC Apex in Las Vegas, baby. And the headliner? A bantamweight showdown between Yadong Song and Chris Gutierrez.
A bit about Marcos, our Peruvian powerhouse. He’s got a 15-0 professional record. Not too shabby, eh? His wins include triumphs over Saimon Oliveira and Davey Grant in his first two UFC appearances. And eight of his career wins? Knockout or technical knockout.
As for Vera, he was all set for his Octagon debut. He’s been tearing it up under the Fury FC banner, winning his last four outings. The 36-year-old has an 11-3 record over his pro career, which kicked off in 2014. But alas, it wasn’t meant to be this time.
