This weekend’s UFC 246 card has lost a preliminary fight, as Grant Dawson has pulled out from his fight against Chas Skelly.
The featherweight fighter announced via Instagram on Tuesday that he couldn’t fight “due to circumstances out of my control,” and that he wished “to get my bout rescheduled as soon as possible.”
Dawson is two-fights into his UFC career, defeating Julian Erosa and Mike Trizano in 2019.
Skelly’s singular fight in 2019 saw him get a decision victory over Jordan Griffin. Before then, he lost twice.
