Cody Garbrandt has pulled out of his upcoming flyweight title fight against Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 255 due to undisclosed reasons.
The fight would have been Garbrandt's first at 125lbs, but his quest to become a two-division UFC champion will now be put on hold.
The news was first reported by Combate before MMA Junkie confirmed the news, with Garbrandt's reasons for pulling out yet to be disclosed.
Alex Perez, who was set to fight Brandon Moreno on the same card, is said to be currently in talks with the UFC about stepping in to replace No Love, leaving Moreno without an opponent.
It's currently unclear whether the UFC will find a replacement opponent for Moreno or whether they'll pull him off the card altogether.
UFC 255 is set to take place on November 21 and will also feature a women's flyweight title fight between Valentina Shevchenko and Jennifer Maia.
