Two Ultimate Fighter 32 The former players were scheduled to face each other at UFC Vegas 96 on Saturday. Zygimantas Ramaska was paired with Nathan Fletcher in the featherweight division.
Unfortunately, this fight will not take place. At the start of the broadcast of the Fight Night card, the promoters announced that the fight was canceled due to a medical issue with Fletcher.
Both fighters had injuries during The Ultimate Fighter 32 Season, which was filmed earlier this year and ended its broadcast earlier this week.
The TUF 32 featherweight and middleweight finals will take place as expected on Saturday night on the main card of the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Zygimantas Ramaska would have been in the semifinal round of the show had a facial injury not knocked him out of the competition, making Saturday a great opportunity to get his foot in the door with the promoter’s backing and a strong performance. Ramaska’s struggle to be cleared to fight after being cleared by a doctor but denied by the Nevada Athletic Commission became a central storyline in the later episodes of the TUF 32 season.
Fletcher himself had to contend with injury problems and suffered a broken leg in his quarter-final fight.
UFC Vegas 96 on Saturday will be headlined by Jared Cannonier and Caio Borralho in a middleweight bout, with Angela Hill versus Tabatha Ricci as the co-main event.
