Best and Worst of UFC Fight Night 152: Change in the co-main event; Favourite fighter back in form

#2 Worst: The absence of Neil Magny

UFC 215: Nunes v Shevchenko 2

Neil Magny was initially supposed to be in the co-main event of the night in a fight against Vicente Luque. The fight was one that many were looking forward to, as both fighters were capable and as such were a good match for each other.

However, that did not end up happening. Only days before the two were supposed to step into the Octagon to face each other, Neil Magny tested positive for Di-Hydroxy-LGD-4033.

Magny has claimed innocence of the doping and claimed that he did not do so intentionally. While this claim is yet to be backed up, it left Luque without an opponent. He had to step down from the co-main event and instead faced Derrick Krantz.

While Krantz is a capable fighter with 34 fights under his belt, he made his UFC debut with the fight. As a result, it was not quite the matchup that people had been expecting for Luque, who won quite easily in the first round.
