UFC 204 Bantamweight Bout Cancelled at Early Weigh-in | MMAWeekly.com

A UFC 204 bantamweight bout has been removed from the fight card at the last minute.

The fight between Ian Entwistle and Rob Font, which was slated for the Fox Sports 1 prelims, had to be cancelled due to illness. UFC officials announced the cancellation at the early weigh-in, noting the Entwistle had fallen ill. Details of his illness were not revealed.

Entwistle had been hoping to rebound from a loss to Alejandro Perez in Croatia earlier this year. Font was coming off of a loss to John Lineker, who put a halt to his 11-figth winning streak.

Font, however, will be paid his show money for the fight.
