Unfortunate news has surfaced in regards to UFC heavyweight Stefan Struve’s fight with Ruslan Magomedov at UFC 204. <\/a><\/p>\n

According to MMAJunkie<\/a>, Magomedov was forced to pull out of the scheduled bout this week after it was revealed that he has a staph infection. <\/p>\n

While details are pretty scarce at the present time, it could be quite some time before Magomdeov returns to the Octagon depending on the severity of his staph infection.<\/p>\n

Magomedov would have entered the fight on a 9-fight win streak that has seen him go 3-0 in the UFC as well. His only loss came in his 6th professional MMA fight when he was TKOd back in 2011. <\/p>\n

The fight was expected to be a big fight for both men given the fact that Stefan Struve is currently ranked #13 on the UFC’s official heavyweight rankings, and Ruslan Magomedov is ranked at #12 on the UFC’s official heavyweight rankings.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, given that the fight is just under a month away, the UFC is currently searching for a replacement opponent for Struve. While the majority of the UFC’s top 15 heavyweights already have fights set, #14 ranked Francis Ngannou. Ngannou is fresh off a 1st round KO over Bojan Mihajlovi\u0107, making it 7 in a row for ‘The Predator’.<\/p>\n

Assuming the UFC is able to find a replacement for Struve in time, he will enter the fight on a win after he knocked out Bigfoot Silva earlier this year with a beautiful elbow.<\/a><\/p>\n
