Well, here’s some news for ya. The light heavyweight match between Dominick Reyes and Carlos Ulberg? Yeah, that one. It’s not happening at UFC 297 on January 20th as we all thought.
Reyes dropped the bomb on social media. His opponent, Ulberg, had to pull out because of an injury. Reyes is now exploring “options or rescheduling.”
According to MMAFighting.com, the bout between Reyes and Ulberg might be rescheduled. They’re looking at UFC Atlantic City on March 30th. As for Ulberg’s injury, we don’t know the details.
Reyes, on the other hand, is on a losing streak. He’s lost four matches in a row. This started with a competitive championship loss to Jon Jones at UFC 247 back in February 2020. His most recent defeat? A first-round KO by Ryan Spann at UFC 281. Ouch.
Meanwhile, Ulberg has been quietly gaining ground at 205 pounds. The guy from City Kickboxing has won his last five Octagon appearances. His last victory was a third-round submission of Da Woon Jung at UFC 293.
UFC Atlantic City? It’s happening at Boardwalk Hall. The main event? A women’s flyweight showdown between Erin Blanchfield and Manon Fiorot. That’s gonna be something.
