Yet another Brazilian has been forced out of the UFC 270 card due to an undisclosed injury.
After women’s flyweight Viviane Araujo left the event, The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 champion Warlley Alves followed the same path, MMA Junkie reports. For now, the promotion will look for a short-notice replacement to take on newcomer Jack Della Maddalena.
In his last outing, Alves (14-5) got knocked out by Jeremiah Mills, back in June 2021. The defeat came right after a knockout win of his own, when the 31-year-old TKO’d Mounir Lazzez, in January of the same year.
