UFC matchmakers have officially pulled light heavyweight veteran Johnny Walker from this weekend's UFC Belgrade event in Serbia.
The decision came after the promotion failed to secure a replacement opponent for Walker's scheduled heavyweight debut.
Walker was originally set to face Ante Delija on August 1 at the Belgrade Arena.
Delija, a former PFL heavyweight champion, withdrew last month due to an undisclosed injury.
UFC officials searched for a short-notice replacement but were unable to find one in time.
As a result, Walker has been removed from the main card entirely.
No announcement has been made regarding a rescheduled fight for Walker.
