One week before UFC’s return to Rio de Janeiro, the fight card suffered another change. Fabio Maldonado, who was set to fight undefeated newcomer Caio Magalhães, suffered a rib injury and was forced to cancel the bout.

The news was confirmed to TATAME by Maldonado’s manager Alex Davis. “He hurt his ribs yesterday on trainings and unfortunately won’t be able to recover in time for the fight”, Davis told TATAME.

No news on Caio’s opponent was available at the moment.
