Sean Strickland has been posting updates on his gruesome finger infection recently, and apparently it’s now bad enough to have his UFC main event fight cancelled.
Dana White announced the news during the post-fight press conference for Tuesday’s Contender Series event. The UFC President stated that there won’t be a replacement to fight Jared Cannonier, and the fight has been officially scrapped from the event.
Cannonier vs Strickland was supposed to headline a UFC Fight Night card on October 15, and MMA Fighting also notes how there’s still no movement in regards to possibly rescheduling the contest.
