It turns out Uriah Hall won’t be fighting at UFC Fight Night 69 overall.
Earlier this week, UFC officials announced Hall (10-5 MMA, 3-3 UFC) had stepped in as an injury replacement for Derek Brunson (13-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) and would fight fellow middleweight Krzysztof Jotko (15-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) at the overseas show.
However, UFC officials today said Hall has been pulled from the card due to “complications” with his visa. A replacement won’t be sought.
UFC Fight Night 69 takes place June 20 at O2 World Berlin in Germany’s capital city. The entire event, including a championship headliner between strawweight titleholder Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Jessica Penne, streams on UFC Fight Pass.
After a recent split-decision loss to Rafael Natal halted his three-fight winning streak, Hall was hoping to fight on a 28-day turnaround.
The full UFC Fight Night 69 lineup now includes:
MAIN CARD (UFC Fight Pass, 3 p.m. ET)
PRELIMINARY CARD (UFC Fight Pass, 11:45 a.m. ET)
