Brazilian middleweight Antonio Carlos Junior was slated to fight Derek Brunson at the Aug. 4 pay-per-view card in Los Angeles, Calif., but Brunson was forced out of the card with an injury. Combate first reported the news.
On his social media, Brunson described it as a “small injury, a little set back.”
Brunson (18-6) was looking to get back on track after a first-round loss to Ronaldo Souza in January, a defeat that snapped his winning streak with quick stoppages over Lyoto Machida and Daniel Kelly.
