It seems that a fun featherweight battle between two talented strikers will no longer happen on October 10.
Per Combate’s report, Sodiq Yusuff was forced out of his bout against Edson Barboza due to undisclosed reasons. However, the Brazilian could still remain on the card as the UFC might be trying to fit Makwan Amirkhani into the Nigerian prospect’s spot.
Currently on a four-fight UFC winning streak, Sodiq Yusuff (11-1) is undefeated in the Octagon. So far, ‘Super’ picked up victories over Suman Mokhtarian, Sheymon Moraes, Gabriel Benitez and Andre Fili.
