No. 5-ranked welterweight contender Sean Brady has withdrawn from his UFC Vegas 124 main event against No. 6-ranked Gabriel Bonfim due to injury, leaving the promotion with roughly one week to find a replacement or select a new headliner.
Fighter Withdrawal and Replacement Options
Brazilian journalist Laerte Viana first reported the change. The upcoming UFC Vegas 124 event is currently scheduled to take place at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas on November 7.
The strawweight bout between Virna Jandiroba and Tatiana Suarez stands as the current co-main event, which could potentially be elevated to top billing. Additional main card matchups on the fight card include Seok Hyeon Ko versus Wellington Turman in the welterweight division and Davey Grant against Elijah Smith at bantamweight.
Reactions to the Cancellation
Neither Brady nor Bonfim has provided a comment regarding the withdrawal. Meanwhile, social media users have targeted Brady in the comment section of his Instagram page following the announcement.
Further details regarding the fight card adjustments will be shared as they become available.
