One of the three women’s flyweight bouts scheduled for UFC 270 has just suffered a loss. Originally paired up against Alexa Grasso for the card, Viviane Araujo was forced to leave the event due to an undisclosed injury, ESPN Deportes reported.
For now, the promotion is looking for a short-notice replacement for Viviane, but no official athletes have been announced just yet. However, ESPN Deportes also reports that the UFC intends to keep Grasso on the card, if possible.
In her last outing, Araujo (10-3) dropped a unanimous decision to former title challenger Katlyn Chookagian, back in May 2021.
