In the space of a week UFC Fight Night 247 has lost two co-main events, with the latest call-off happening just one day before the show in Las Vegas.
Ricky Turcios vs. Bernardo Sopai had been bumped up the main card to co-main event status earlier in the week after Cody Garbrandt pulled out of his fight against Miles Johns for undisclosed reasons.
However, despite successfully weighing in yesterday, Turcios has since been withdrawn from his fight for a medical reason.
That’s led to another shuffle of the bout order, with a middleweight fight between veteran campaigner Gerald Meerschaert and the debuting former two-division ONE FC champion Reiner de Ridder being shifted up to the co-main event spot.
So, as things stand a welterweight fight between Neil Magny and Carlos Prates still headlines the show, while elsewhere on the now five-fight main card line-up Gaston Bolanos vs. Cortavious Romious appears along with Luana Pinheiro vs. Gillian Robertson and Dusko Todorovic vs. Manser Abdul-Malik.
