– Emil Meek (9-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) posted the following on his Instagram account, announcing that he has had to pull out of his welterweight fight against Nordine Taleb (12-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 109. UFC Fight Night 109 takes place May 28 at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm and the entire event streams on UFC Fight Pass. According to MMA Junkie, the loose translation is that “he has pulled out of the fight with “a heavy heart” and that the pain he’s experiencing from an undisclosed injury during training is not something he can continue with. He apologized to fans already planning on traveling to see him fight, but concluded by saying he plans on being Norway’s first UFC champion.”
