UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Gaziev
In an exciting update from the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), fans of mixed martial arts can expect a thrilling shake-up in the upcoming UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Gaziev event. Taking place this Saturday, March 2, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, the fight card has undergone several key changes due to injuries and visa issues.
Featherweight Bout Canceled
One of the unfortunate changes is the cancellation of the featherweight bout between Brendon Marotte and Mohammad Yahya. Marotte has been forced to withdraw from the fight due to an injury, leaving Yahya without an opponent for the weekend’s event.
Women’s Strawweight Division Adjustment
Another significant adjustment to the card is the removal of Josefine Knutsson from her scheduled fight against Julia Polastri. However, Polastri will not be left out of the action. She will now face Stephanie Luciano in an eagerly awaited matchup for UFC FIGHT NIGHT: Ribas vs. Namajunas on March 23. This change showcases the depth and flexibility of the UFC’s roster.
Bantamweight Clash Change
Yanis Ghemmouri’s bantamweight clash with Vinicius Oliveira is also undergoing a change. Ghemmouri has been pulled from the bout, making way for UFC newcomer Benardo Sopaj to make his debut. Sopaj enters the Octagon on the back of a three-fight winning streak, with each victory coming via finish, signaling his intent to make an immediate impact in his first UFC appearance.
Lightweight Division Replacement
Lastly, the lightweight division sees a replacement due to visa complications that have sidelined Joel Alvarez from his fight against Ludovit Klein. Stepping up to the challenge is AJ Cunningham, a veteran of Dana White’s Contender Series, ready to showcase his skills on the UFC stage.
