Tonight’s UFC 274 fight card has taken a last minute hit as Donald Cerrone was forced to withdraw from his bout with Joe Lauzon.<\/p>\n

Cerrone (36-16 MMA) was slated to open up tonight’s pay-per-view main card against fellow veteran Lauzon (28-15 MMA). Unfortunately for fight fans, ‘Cowboy’ suffered a fight-day illness and was forced to pullout of the fight. UFC officials announced the news during this afternoon’s prelim broadcast.<\/p>\n

A welterweight bout between Randy Brown and Khaos Williams has now been bumped up to main card status.<\/p>\n

Donald Cerrone was looking to snap a six-fight losing skid this evening. Cowboy’s last victory came in May of 2019 when he defeated the now retired Al laquinta<\/a>\u00a0(14-7 MMA).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Joe Lauzon was supposed to be competing for the first time since October of 2019 where he defeated Jonathan Pearce (12-4 MMA) by technical knockout.<\/p>\n

UFC officials will likely look to rebook the ‘Cerrone vs. Lauzon’ bout as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

When asked by ‘The Underground<\/a>‘ about the bout between Donald Cerrone and Joe Lauzon, UFC President Dana White had this to say:<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re a different story. That one should be the loser probably packs it up and rides off into the sunset. That I would agree with.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Get the updated UFC 274 main card lineup below:<\/p>\n

MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view, 10pm EST)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Charles Oliveira vs. Justin Gaethje –<\/p>\n
