Thatch-Bahadurzada, Moras-Murphy scrapped from UFC Fight Night 83

Next Sunday's (February 21st) UFC Fight Night: Cerrone vs. Oliveira card on FS1 was supposed to feature a whopping 14 fights, as opposed to the usual 11-13. As of this weekend, two fights have been lost, with one of those cancelled matchups confirmed for a move to next month's big UFC 196 pay-per-view.

A welterweight main card scrap between Brandon Thatch and Siyar Bahadurzada has been rescheduled for UFC 196 on March 5th. In a statement released on Friday, the UFC announced that Thatch wasn't given clearance from the Pennsylvania AC for unspecified medication that is otherwise approved under the UFC/USADA policy.
