UFC officials recently announced that next week’s UFC 142 event will only have 10 fights due to Fabio Maldonado recieving an injury during training.
With the fight only being a week away there is not enough time to find a replacement opponent to take on Caio Magalhaes, so UFC officials decided to just scrap the fight.
