These days, unfortunately, fight week means more than just interviews, weight cuts, and media-day staredowns. The last few days before any UFC event in 2020 have been a waiting game, to see just how many bouts the card will lose before Saturday night. UFC 256 is no different.
Along with have lost several main events in the weeks approaching, bouts between Tecia Torres & Angela Hill, Karl Roberson & Dalcha Lungiambula, Dwight Grant & Li Jingliang have all fallen by the wayside. The latest addition to that list is one of the event’s opening prelims, a heavyweight fight between newly signed Jared Vanderaa and the 4x Octagon vet out of Moldova, Sergey Spivak.
