Not long after King Green was forced to withdraw from his “Prelims” headliner versus fellow Lightweight veteran Carlos Diego Ferreira, the fight card has taken another hit. A new Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Welterweight champion was supposed to be crowned when Rodrigo Sezinando squared off with Daniil Donchenko, but the bout has been canceled due to injury per a UFC announcement.
It’s unclear at the moment which athlete is injured, but the promotion intends to rebook the finale match at a later date. Thankfully, the Flyweight finale between Joseph Morales vs. Alibi Idiris will still move forward as planned.
Rodrigo Sezinando advanced to the TUF 33 welterweight final by winning a split decision over Jeff Creighton in the semis. Daniil Donchenko, meanwhile, earned his spot by delivering a first‑round TKO over Matt Dixon in the semifinals. Both were hoping to earn the famed TUF “six-figure contract” and start their official UFC careers off with a victory, but the Team Cormier athletes will have to wait for a later date.
