Gunnar Nelson is out of the UFC Fight Night 99 main event opposite Dong Hyun Kim due to injury, according to an MMAFighting.com report. The extent of Nelson’s injury wasn’t stated.
Gegard Mousasi and Uriah Hall are now slated to headline the event, per the Friday report.
It is unclear at this time whether a replacement is being sought for Kim or the Korean fighter will be booked for a future card.
Mousasi and Hall first met at UFC Fight Night 75 in Saitama, Japan 13 months ago. Hall was a sizable underdog going in, but, after a dominant first round for Mousasi, “Primetime” scored a vicious knockout win in the second round.
