Follow Us
UFC Vegas 35 takes place on August 28th. A featherweight clash between Giga Chikadze and Edson Barboza will headline the fight card. However, the UFC has also made sure that they have stacked the rest of the fight card with interesting fights.
Unfortunately for fight fans, over the past few hours, not one but three fights have been pulled from the fight card. Former UFC title challenger and Olympic silver medalist Sara McMann pulled out of her fight against Vieira because of a reinjury.
McMann expressed her disappointment on Instagram as she shared with fans that she would not be able to make it to the fight. The 40-year-old said, “The worst part is that I was so healthy and having a really great camp. I know I’ll keep the gains I’ve made, but I was really hoping to get the reward for all of the work I’ve put in the last few months”

Further down the card, promising middleweight Makhmud Muradov will fight Gerald Meerschaert in an epic clash. ‘Mach’, currently on a 14-fight win streak, is also 3-0 in the UFC and is slowly making his case as a force to be reckoned with at 185-pounds. Hence, Meerschaert will be an excellent litmus test for the 31-year-old.
