Hours before she was supposed to fight on one of the most exciting and jam-packed cards of the UFC this year, Nina Ansaroff had to pull out of the fight. Suffering from the flu, Ansaroff was deemed unfit to fight by medical personnel. Since it was such short notice, it happened after weigh-ins, they couldn’t find anyone to replace her. The loss of Ansaroff for the weekend left Namajunas without an opponent, thus resulting in the fight being pulled from the card all together.
