The upcoming UFC Nashville event faced another setback when a light-heavyweight bout was recently canceled, which is scheduled to take place on August 5, 2023 at the Bridgestone Arena.
Earlier today, it was reported that Said Nurmagomedov withdrew from his scheduled fight against Raoni Barcelos, and Kyler Phillips stepped in as his replacement.
This comes after Umar Nurmagomedov's withdrawal from his main event bout against Cory Sandhagen. Surprisingly, the promotion swiftly replaced Umar with Rob Font, altering the headliner to a five-round catchweight bout.
