However, the event has encountered some challenges, with two fights being canceled. Yanal Ashmouz was scheduled to face Nurullo Aliev in a lightweight bout, but Ashmouz has withdrawn, leading to the cancellation of the fight. Similarly, Andreas Gustafsson's welterweight clash against Preston Parsons has also been called off due to Gustafsson's withdrawal.
Fortunately, the UFC has managed to secure replacements for both fighters. Joe Solecki, a notable alumnus of Dana White's Contender Series, will step in to take Ashmouz's place. Additionally, undefeated American Jacobe Smith will replace Gustafsson in the welterweight matchup.
Despite these setbacks, the card remains robust with 14 fights currently scheduled. As the UFC prepares to return from its festive break, fans are eager to see how the event unfolds and what performances will emerge from the fighters on the card.
