Moments before the event was to begin, Fighting & Entertainment Group officials entered the ring and announced that the featured lightweight bout had been cancelled.
Hansen, 29, apparently did not pass pre-fight medicals, and FEG officials said the Norwegian had been hospitalized for a "head injury."
The Dream lightweight champion was present at the official press conference on Tuesday to promote the bout with Cavalcante. Hansen bested the aggressive 21-year-old Cavalcante via spilt decision in 2004.
Cavalcante (14-2-1, 1 NC) also addressed the audience to apologize for the cancellation. The Brazilian told the crowd that he sympathized with Hansen (19-7-1), as he’d undergone is own share of injuries and bout cancellations last year when he tore the ACL in his knee.
