Following the late withdrawal of Jack Marshman at UFC London, Scott was left without an opponent. To make it up to the welterweight, Sean Shelby got him matched a few days later for UFC Liverpool.
On Tuesday, however — as first reported by Polsat Sport — it emerged that Scott’s opponent, Salim Touahri, had been forced out of the fight with a knee injury.
The UFC informed Scott that they were looking for a new opponent for him for the Echo Arena date, but just a week away from the event, Scott underlined his frustrations with the situation.
