UFC Vegas 21 has lost its lone heavyweight bout.
MMA Fighting confirmed with sources with knowledge of the situation that the Ben Rothwell vs. Philipe Lins fight has been removed from Saturday’s card, following an initial report by Fightful.
According to sources, an injury caused the fight to be delayed but the matchup is expected to be rescheduled for a later date.
Both fighters were looking to rebound from recent losses. Rothwell (38-13) saw a two-fight win streak snapped in October when he dropped a unanimous decision to Marcin Tybura.
