UFC 297 has misplaced a Gentle Heavyweight banger.
Yesterday (Sat., Dec. 30, 2023), former Gentle Heavyweight title challenger Dominick Reyes took to his Instagram to disclose his scheduled UFC 297 battle with Carlos Ulberg was scrapped on account of an Ulberg harm.
“Hey everybody, my battle Jan. 20 has been known as off on account of my opponent’s “harm”. We’re at the moment taking a look at choices or rescheduling,” Reyes wrote on his Instagram story. “I’ve had an excellent camp and I’m def pissed off however god has a plan.”
Ulberg apparently didn’t like Reyes’ use of parenthesis on the phrase harm as a result of he took to his Twitter to mock the previous title challenger.
“@DomReyes Loosen up Buddy, you’re not about “that life” Relaxation properly!! Ulberg wrote.”
In line with MMA Combating, the pair of heavyweights may probably be rescheduled for UFC Atlantic Metropolis on Mar. 30.
Reyes, 34, is coming off the worst stretch of his skilled profession, shedding 4 straight – being completed within the final three. In his final outing, he was knocked unconscious by Ryan Spann at UFC 281 with an influence jab, and earlier than that, he was knocked out by Jiri Prochazka with a spinning again elbow.
Ulberg, 33, has been on a roll since dropping his UFC debut to Kennedy Nzechukwu. He has gained 5 straight, ending 4 of his final opponents. He was final in motion towards Da Un Jung at UFC 293, and after the battle, he known as out Reyes in his in-cage post-fight interview.
