A heavyweight fight between Travis Browne and Derrick Lewis has been rescheduled from UFC 208 in Brooklyn to the following weekend's UFC Fight Night: Halifax card. The news, reported by Canadian sports outlet The Score, comes after the Halifax, Nova Scotia card lost its original main event bout between Junior dos Santos and Stefan Struve over an injury to Struve's shoulder.
Some have criticized UFC 208 for being light on marquee fights. But with the recent addition of Anderson Silva versus Derek Brunson to the card, it seems like the UFC is confident enough in the event's drawing power to shift the well known Browne and rising prospect Lewis over to the Canadian card.
