Jessica Aguilar vs. Jodie Esquibel scratched from UFC Utica

The strawweight veteran has been pulled from her fight with Jodie Esquibel at tonight’s UFC Utica. The decision to cancel the bout was made by the New York State Athletic Commission. MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani reported the news on Friday.

The NYSAC canceled the fight due to a medical concern with Aguilar. The issue with the former WSOF champion came up on Thursday, and according to sources, Aguilar was asked to get clearance by the doctors, which she did. The NYSAC confirmed that Aguilar had been given clearance, but yet on Friday decided to remove the 115-pound contest from the event.
