The light heavyweight fight between Ovince St. Preux and Ryan Spann has been pulled from UFC 247, according to MMA Junkie, which was later confirmed by both fighters.
As of this writing, there’s no word on the reasoning behind the fight being cancelled, though it appears it has something to do on Ovince St. Preux’s end based off of Spann post:
Preux was looking to continue building up momentum after his impressive submission win over Michał Oleksiejczuk at UFC Copenhagen. Spann is on a strong seven-fight winning streak, with his latest victory coming over Devin Clark at UFC Tampa in October.
UFC 247 will take place on Saturday, February 8 from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas with Jon Jones and Dominick Reyes headlining the pay-per-view. Check out the advertised line-up for the big event thus far:
Light Heavyweight Championship
Jon Jones vs. Dominick Reyes
