Mirsad Bektic will no longer meet Renato Moicano next month.
The rising featherweight contender has been forced to pull out of his bout at UFC 231, which takes place Dec. 8 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, due to an injury. FloCombat.com first reported the news Thursday. Bektic suffered a laceration in training, per the report.
Moicano is expected to remain on the card against a to-be-determined opponent.
Bektic is coming off a split-decision win over former title challenger Ricardo Lamas at UFC 225 in June. Bektic is riding a two-fight winning streak, which follows his first career loss in early 2017, an upset knockout to Darren Elkins.
