Heavyweights Walt Harris and Mark Godbeer were slated to fight on the UFC 216 preliminary card just over a week ago, but unusual circumstances led to Harris accepting a totally different fight on hours’ notice, leaving Godbeer without an opponent. The good news for both men is that they have been rebooked to fight at UFC 217, per MMAjunkie.
Harris (10-6) was offered a main card spot against Fabricio Werdum after Werdum’s original opponent, Derrick Lewis, withdrew from the card due to ongoing back problems.
