An anticipated middleweight clash between Yoel Romero (13-5 MMA, 9-4 UFC) and Uriah Hall (15-9 MMA, 8-7 UFC) will not happen as planned, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told BJPENN.com. The sources asked for anonymity since the news hasn’t been officially confirmed yet.<\/p>\n

The two 185-pound fighters were expected to lock horns on August 22 <\/a>in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the UFC APEX facility. They were slated to co-headline the event.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Romero has been forced out of the bout due to still undisclosed reasons.<\/p>\n

Romero, a former world gold medalist and an Olympic silver medalist would have entered the fight on a three-bout losing streak, having racked up losses against Robert Whittaker, Paulo Costa, and the current Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight title-holder, Israel Adesanya.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Uriah “Prime Time” Hall would have entered the fight with Romero riding back-to-back victories over Bevon Lewis and Antonio Carlos Junior.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not trying to fight Yoel to survive, I\u2019m trying to fight him to take him out,\u201d Uriah Hall said about the Romero fight in a previous interview<\/a>. \u201cI feel like I\u2019m in my prime. I thought I was in my prime at 28, I\u2019m definitely in my prime now. Regardless of what the UFC wants to give or show, I\u2019m ready. I\u2019m ready to show those attributes and a guy like Yoel, you\u2019ve got to go after him. You\u2019ve got to fight him. I just want to go after him. I\u2019m excited to go after him. I\u2019m not going to be reckless or careless because that dude hits like a truck, but I\u2019m trying to get a title shot. My main focus is to get to the champ. I\u2019m not even looking at the belt. Izzy is the trophy. I want to fight his style. That excites me more than a (expletive) belt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hall’s plans will seemingly now have to wait, as the UFC is looking for a late replacement to keep Hall on that card, sources told BJPENN.com.<\/p>\n
