Report: Poliana Botelho Removed From UFC 241
Poliana Botelho was without an opponent for the upcoming UFC 241 card after the withdrawal of Maryna Moroz from the event.
It seems like UFC officials couldn’t find a suitable replacement for Botelho to face, so she has also been removed from the card according to MMA Fighting.
Botelho would comment on the matter via Twitter:
CANCELADA … Infelizmente minha adversária se machucou e não terá mais a luta .. Estava mais que pronta e preparada para mais essa batalha.. Aguardando UFC para uma próxima luta !!! Obrigada por todos que torcem e acreditam no meu trabalho. Irei descansar p voltar mais forte pic.twitter.com/PXXjpSNfd8

“CANCELED Infelizmente … Unfortunately my opponent was injured and will no longer have the fight .. I was more than ready and ready for another battle .. Awaiting UFC for a next fight !!! Thank you for everyone who cheers and believes in my work. I will rest p back stronger.”
The UFC 241 card will now move up with one less fight, but will still feature a total of twelve bouts.
