Next week’s UFC Fight Night 122 event from Shangai will go down as planned, and potentially better than ever. However, the show did take some bumps and bruises along the way, thanks to the efforts of the UFC’s drug testing program USADA.
USADA violations have impacted the fight card in both the main event and preliminary portion.
Most notable is Anderson Silva’s second failed drug test. The aging legend was scheduled to fight Kelvin Gastelum, but on two-weeks notice he was removed from the event.
Fresh off losing his UFC middleweight world title at UFC 217, Michael Bisping jumped at the opportunity to fill the void.
Here’s the new UFC fight card and bout order after all the USADA violations:
MAIN CARD: (UFC Fight Pass, 7 a.m. ET)
Michael Bisping vs. Kelvin Gastelum
Li Jingliang vs. Zak Ottow
Alex Caceres vs. Wang Guan
Alex Garcia vs. Muslim Salikhov
PRELIMINARY CARD: (UFC Fight Pass, 3:45 a.m. ET)
Zabit Magomedsharipov vs. Sheymon Moraes
Bobby Nash vs. Kenan Song
Kailin Curran vs. Yan Xiaonan
Bharat Khandare vs. Pingyuan Liu
Shamil Abdurakhimov vs. Chase Sherman
Gina Mazany vs. Yanan Wu
Wuliji Buren vs. Rolando Dy
