UFC Vegas 58 has been reduced to 11 fights following the cancellation of two UFC APEX bouts.
A middleweight main card bout, Jamie Pickett vs. Denis Tiuliulin, has been removed from the card for undisclosed reasons, a person with knowledge of the shift told MMA Fighting. According to MMA Junkie, the fight is tentatively scheduled to take place at UFC 279 on Sept. 10, though the move is not finalized. Twitter user @ProdiigyDFS first reported the scratch.
Additionally, a featherweight fight, Austin Lingo vs. David Onama, has been cancelled after Lingo withdrew from the card this past week and a replacement wasn’t solidified.
The fight card’s new official order has not been confirmed. UFC Vegas 58 is headlined by a lightweight fight between ex-champ Rafael dos Anjos and Rafael Fiziev. They both want a place in the title photo with Champ Charles Oliveira, currently unbooked.
