Former Strikeforce champion and UFC title challenger Gilbert Melendez will have to wait to make his Octagon return.
An injury has forced Melendez to withdraw from “The Ultimate Fighter 28” finale. As a result, Rick Glenn will step in for “El Nino” and face Arnold Allen in a featherweight tilt at the Pearl at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas on Nov. 30. The promotion announced the change on Monday.
The “TUF 28” finale is headlined by a welterweight showdown pitting Rafael dos Anjos against Kamaru Usman.
