The scheduled bout between Walt Harris and Josh Parisian was unexpectedly removed from the UFC Vegas 77 roster, which is set to take place on July 15, 2023, at the Apex facility in Las Vegas.
The disappointment was further compounded when Harris revealed that the cancellation stemmed from a drug testing issue under the UFC's anti-doping program, leaving Parisian without an opponent:
