The UFC’s next pay-per-view event suffered a major blow on Saturday night.
During the UFC Mexico broadcast, play-by-play man Jon Anik revealed that the clash between Carlos Prates and Geoff Neal, scheduled to go down on April 12 at UFC 314, is no longer on the docket after ‘Handz of Steel’ was forced to bow out of the bout due to an injury.
It’s an unfortunate blow for the event in Prates, who was set to make his fifth walk to the Octagon after scoring highlight-reel knockouts in his first four appearances with the promotion.
