Zhenghong suffers cut, canceling Evloev fight

MMA

A scheduled main card fight is off the UFC’s card this weekend in China.

Lv Zhenghong suffered a cut this week and is out of his planned featherweight bout with Movsar Evloev at UFC Shenzhen, the UFC announced Friday. No replacement will be found to fight Evloev and the event will go on with 11 fights.

A welterweight bout between Song Kenan and Derrick Krantz will move to the main card. UFC Shenzhen is headlined by a women’s strawweight title fight pitting champion Jessica Andrade against challenger Zhang Weili, a China native.

Zhenghong (18-6), a Chinese fighter, had won 11 of his last 12 fights and would have been making his UFC debut. Evloev (11-0) is an undefeated prospect out of Russia with one UFC victory already under his belt.
