Louis Smolka withdraws from UFC 264 bout against Sean O’Malley
Sean O’Malley vs Louis Smolka was supposed to be the main card opener at UFC 264 but that fight will no longer be happening as Smolka has withdrawn from the fight due to an undisclosed injury.
Louis Smolka is out of next weekend’s UFC 264 fight versus Sean O’Malley, sources say. Undisclosed injury. They were scheduled to be on the PPV main card.
UFC is hoping to keep O’Malley on the card, I’m told, but no new opponent locked in yet.

The UFC are still hoping to have O’Malley fight on the card but with the event just over a week away, it may be hard to find an opponent for O’Malley.
Who would you like to see O’Malley fight?

Francis Ngannou’s manager responds to Dana White
When the news broke yesterday that Francis Ngannou would not be fighting in September against Derrick Lewis, there was a lot of confusion in the MMA world as to why the fight will not go ahead.
The UFC instead has booked Derrick Lewis vs Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight title.
After the news of the fight broke, Francis Ngannou’s manager said he was “shocked” at the UFC’s decision to not give Ngannou a little bit more time to prepare.
White then responded by criticizing Ngannou’s management team, then Ngannou’s manager Marquel Martin sent a fiery response to the UFC president.
See Martin’s response below.
