Bobby Green gained weight for his UFC 258 fight with Jim Miller – but it looks like it was a fight. And now your fight is over.
Green was the last fighter to weigh in on Friday morning at UFC Apex in Las Vegas, and reached the lightweight limit, weighing 156 kilos. He walked over to the scale and stepped without help.
When it was time for pre-fight clashes, about 25 minutes later, Green and Miller did not participate. UFC President Dana White explained why during his dispute with reporters.
“Bobby Green just passed out there,” said White. “The doctors are looking for him. They are trying to rehydrate you now. “
Later on Friday, the UFC announced that Green vs. Miller was removed from UFC 258. Stepping into his seat on the main card will be a featherweight fight between Brian Kelleher and Ricky Simon.
There is no word on Green’s condition at this time.
Green (27-11-1 MMA, 8-6-1 UFC) was trying to recover from the unanimous decision loss to Thiago Moises last October, which broke a three-game winning streak. Miller (32-15 MMA, 21-14 UFC) also intended to return to the winning column after losing his decision to Vinc Pichel last August.
With the change, the finished lineup for UFC 258 includes:
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view, 10 pm ET)
Champ Kamaru Usman (170) vs. Gilbert Burns (170) – for the welterweight title Maycee Barber vs. Alexa Grasso Kelvin Gastelum vs. Ian Heinisch Brian Kelleher vs. Ricky Simon Julian Marquez vs. Maki Pitolo
