UFC Fortaleza was hit with an injury, as Marina Rodriguez was forced out of a strawweight contest against Alexa Grasso on Feb. 2 in Brazil. The UFC announced the news over the weekend. Twitter user Rot was first to report the injury.
According to sources, Rodriguez suffered a hand injury and should be sidelined for a month and is expected to be able to fight again in March.
The UFC didn’t mention if Grasso will be given another opponent, but Invicta FC strawweight champion Virna Jandiroba went on her social media to volunteer to take the spot.
