The UFC is willing to take another chance on an undefeated prospect.
This year's international Vechtweek went in Las Vegas with a total of 11 fights. UFC 317: Topuria vs. Oliveira had initially planned 12 attacks for the map, but a middleweight fight fell at the last minute.
After the withdrawal of Sedriques Dumas from his fight against Jackson Mcvy, 7-0 middleweight Christopher Ewert came in in the short term and tried to cut 30 pounds in four days for his UFC debut.
Ewert did not succeed in making the weight and pronounced with his body, he pulled himself out of the fight with 10 pounds. The Chilean hunter was cut from the UFC because he was not appeared on Friday morning.
After a few days of concern about the Fighting Future van Ewert, we finally have an answer to what the next step is for 'El Tange'.
