Lauren Murphy won’t be joining her Ultimate Fighter 26 castmates at this Friday’s finale.
The Invicta FC and UFC veteran was supposed to be making her flyweight debut at The Ultimate Fighter 26 Finale in Las Vegas, Nev., but Murphy’s opponent was forced to withdraw due to VISA problems and there was not enough time to find a replacement.
Murphy explained the situation in a post on her Instagram account, which is private:
Hi everyone, I had a tough opponent for the TUF finale - an undefeated Brazilian prospect - and we were set to put on a show for you guys here in Vegas at the TUF finale.
