Mizuto Hirota has been pulled from his fight with Charles Rosa at UFC Fight Night 117. Hirota missed weight for the fight and appeared to be in bad shape at the weigh-ins, per MMAjunkie.
The UFC’s statement on the matter read, “Due to health and safety concerns, the UFC featherweight bout Hirota vs. Rosa at UFC Fight Night Japan: Saint Preux vs. Okami has been cancelled, as Hirota was deemed unfit to compete by the UFC medical team. UFC Fight Night Japan: Saint Preux vs. Okami will proceed as scheduled with 10 bouts at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. Moving to the main card will be the flyweight bout between Jussier Formiga and Ulka Sasaki.”
The show takes place tonight.
