A really compelling lightweight matchup for the UFC’s November 7th event is now off the table.
Following a report from MyMMANews, sources told MMA Fighting that Carlos Diego Ferreira suffered an arm injury and will be unable to take on fellow rising contender Drew Dober next month. The search is on for a replacement on just about two weeks’ notice.
Ferreira (17-2) is riding a six-fight winning streak, including a submission victory over former champion Anthony Pettis at UFC 246. Former interim champ Dustin Poirier was the last person to defeat the Brazilian way back in 2015.
