The UFC looks to have a top quality PPV brewing for next month in Las Vegas. Headlined by the heavyweight debut of former LHW champ Jon Jones, taking on Ciryl Gane for Francis Ngannou’s vacated strap, the card is also set to feature Valentina Shevchenko defending her flyweight title against Alexa Grasso and a quality welterweight bout between Geoff Neal & Shavkat Rakhmonov.
One surefire action fight, however, will be missing. A lightweight battle between top ranked fighters Dan Hooker and Jalin Turner. The two lanky 155ers were poised for a high-octane striking showdown—unfortunately derailed after Hooker suffered a broken hand in training.
