Ovince Saint Preux and Ryan Spann won’t be fighting at UFC 247.
Both Saint Preux (24-13 MMA, 14-9 UFC) and Spann (17-5 MMA, 3-0 UFC) would have been looking to build off of momentum of recent victories, but they’ll have to wait. The matchup between the two light heavyweights scheduled for Feb. 8 in Houston has been canceled, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed to MMA Junkie on Tuesday.
With the removal, the UFC 247 lineup now includes: Champ Jon Jones vs. Dominick Reyes – for light heavyweight title Champ Valentina Shevchenko vs. Katlyn Chookagian – for women’s flyweight title Ilir Latifi vs. Derrick Lewis Mirsad Bektic vs. Dan Ige Andrea Lee vs. Lauren Murphy Juan Adams vs. Justin Tafa Dhiego Lima vs. Alex Morono Jimmie Rivera vs. Marlon Vera
