Blaydes vs. Kuniev and Castaneda vs. Gutierrez Fights Canceled

Earlier today, ahead of the show, a planned heavyweight prelim between Curtis Blaydes and Rizvan Kuniev was postponed from the card due to the former becoming sick just hours before the fight.

This wasn’t the only undercard bout to get dropped from the itinerary. A featherweight contest matching John Castaneda with Chris Gutierrez was scrubbed today. The former fighter in that pairing is under the weather and won’t be able to make the walk.

At the top of the bill tonight, the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship is on the line in the main event of the evening. Current champion Alex Pereira (12-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) battles No. 1 contender Magomed Ankalaev (20-1-1, 1 NC MMA, 11-1-1, 1 NC UFC).

The UFC 313 main event is an advertised maximum of five rounds at five minutes per round to close the show.
