UFC Orlando 2022: Which fights have been removed from the UFC Fight Night card?

Luckily, only one bout had to be removed from UFC Orlando next weekend. The UFC Fight Night card is scheduled to take place on December 3rd, with only Derek Brunson vs. Jack Hermansson having to be taken-off the stacked fight card.

Brunson was forced to withdraw from the bout after suffering an injury in the build-up to the Orlando contest. However, Hermansson hasn't been left hanging by the organization, with the UFC scheduling a new opponent for the Swedish fighter.

'The Joker' will now take on Roman Dolidze in Orlando, with the Georgian fighter stepping in on short notice to take on the UFC legend. Dolidze is currently 5-1 in the UFC and has only been beaten once during his professional MMA career, with Trevin Giles beating the middleweight via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs. Holland.

UFC Orlando is set to host many exciting bouts on the UFC Fight Night card, with Stephen Thompson and Kevin Holland headlining the stacked event. MMA legend Rafael dos Anjos is also in action, with the Brazilian taking on Bryan Barberena in the co-main event.

Two of the biggest contenders in the UFC's heavyweight rankings are also set to throw hands in Orlando. Tai Tuivasa is scheduled to take on the hard-hitting Sergei Pavlovich in a three-round contest on the main card.

Amongst all of the exciting men's contests, UFC Orlando is also set to host some thrilling women's bouts on December 3rd. Yazmin Jauregui and Istela Nunes will kick-off the fight card, with three women's contests in total taking place in Orlando.
