Reason for Sean Brady's previous fight cancellation

Sean Brady’s welterweight bout at UFC 290 was canceled due to an injury he suffered when the fight was just around the corner. Brady was scheduled to square off against Jack Della Maddalena at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, USA, at UFC 290 however the last-minute withdrawal of Sean Brady due to an injury forced him out. Brady was replaced by Josiah Harrell but pre-fight tests diagnosed Harrell with Moyamoya and he also pulled out of the bout leaving Jack Della Maddalena without an opponent.
