Next week’s UFC return to Australia for UFC Fight Night 121 has not been without some hiccups.
First the UFC pulled headliner and regional fan favorite Mark Hunt over medical concerns. Then the highly anticipated bout between “Rowdy” Bec Rawlings and Joanne Calderwood got scrapped due to a Calderwood injury. And finally Alexander Volkanovski lost his opponent due to injury as well.
That’s three recent changes to a once-stacked event. But have no fear, the UFC has resolved most of these issues.
In for Hunt comes former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum. In for Calderwood comes Jessy Rose-Clark. And the UFC is presently still working on a replacement for Volkanovski.
All in all this UFC card is still worth your time.
