A middleweight showdown between Eryk Anders and Antonio Arroyo has been pulled from Saturday night’s UFC Vegas 14 at the UFC APEX, the Brazilian fighter announced on his social media in the early hours of the day.
Anders missed weight by 1.5 pounds on Friday morning, and Arroyo’s cornerman Marcelo Alfaya wrote on his social media that “opponent was sick and went to hospital.”
“Ya Boi” (13-5) had a brief run as a light heavyweight in 2019, going 1-1 in the division before returning to 185 pounds with a split decision victory over Gerald Meerschaert.
