Unable to Find Replacement Foe, UFC Pulls Ben Rothwell from Fight Night Dublin Card

UFC Fight Night Dublin will have a new co-main event after the Las Vegas-based promotion was unable to find a suitable replacement opponent for heavyweight Ben Rothwell.

Rothwell was left without a foe when Stipe Miocic was forced to withdraw from the contest due to injury. As a result, the lightweight clash between Norman Parke and Reza Madadi will serve as the card’s co-headliner.

UFC Fight Night takes place at the O2 Arena in Dublin on Oct. 24 and features a 155-pound clash pitting Joseph Duffy against Dustin Poirier.
