The UFC 282 main card has taken yet another hit as a big-name veteran has been pulled due to injury.
The UFC 282 fight card seems to be a bit cursed. So far, the last pay-per-view of the year has taken a few hits. The event was scheduled to be headlined by a light heavyweight title fight between Ji?í Procházka and Glover Teixeira. Many fans were looking forward to this rematch as the first fight between these two was very close and entertaining. Unfortunately for Procházka, he suffered an injury and was removed from the card.
Teixeira was also removed for various reasons. The co-main event fighters, Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Alkaleav, were elevated to the headlining spot and will now fight for the light heavyweight title. Down one fight already, things were shifted, but now however there is another blow to this main card.
