Two fights into Saturday’s event at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., UFC play-by-play man Brendan Fitzgerald announced the women’s flyweight clash between Dudakova (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and Gatto (8-2-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) had been scratched due to a “medical issue” on Dudakova’s side.
The announcement came as Dudakova and Gatto were next up on the card. No further details came about whether the fight will be rescheduled for a later date.
