The UFC’s long-awaited return to Canada has taken one other hit.
Chris Daukaus is off UFC 289, as he’s withdrawn from his gentle heavyweight debut vs. Khalil Rountree because of harm. The occasion takes place June 10 at Rogers Enviornment in Vancouver, British Columbia.
An individual with data of the withdrawal not too long ago knowledgeable MMA Junkie however requested to stay nameless because the promotion has but to make an official announcement.
Daukaus (12-6 MMA, 4-3 UFC) was enthused to make his debut at 205 kilos, a transfer he hinted at previous to his closing combat at heavyweight. He would’ve entered UFC 289 seeking to snap a three-fight skid.
It’s unclear if Rountree (11-5 MMA, 7-5 UFC) will stay on the cardboard, but when he does, he’ll search his fourth straight victory after consecutive wins over Modestas Bukauskas, Karl Roberson, and Dustin Jacoby.
With the change, the UFC 289 lineup contains:
Amanda Nunes vs. Irene Alanda – for ladies’s bantamweight title
Beneil Dariush vs. Charles Oliveira
Adam Fugitt vs. Mike Malott
Dan Ige vs. Nate Landwehr
Eryk Anders vs. Marc-Andre Barriault
Chris Curtis vs. Nassourdine Imavov
Khalil Rountree vs. TBA
Jasmine Jasudavicius vs. Miranda Maverick
David Dvorak vs. Stephen Erceg
Blake Bilder vs. Kyle Nelson
Aiemann Zahabi vs. Aori Qileng
David Dvorak vs. Stephen Erceg
Diana Belbita vs. Maria Oliveira
