UFC Vegas 97 will have one less competition as Ovince Saint Preux has been removed from his light heavyweight clash against Ryan Spann due to illness. The card will continue with 12 fights on the lineup.
Saint Preux, a former UFC interim title contender, has recently bounced back with two victories in his last three bouts. In contrast, Spann is currently struggling with three consecutive losses.
The event is scheduled for September 7 at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, with a welterweight fight between Gilbert Burns and Sean Brady headlining the event.
