And then there were nine.

UFC Vegas 33 has taken another hit as a welterweight bout between Niklas Stolze and Jared Gooden scheduled for Saturday’s main card at UFC APEX in Las Vegas has been cancelled, according to the official lineup sheet reported by TSN:

The reason for the change is yet to be announced.

A strawweight bout between Cheyanne Buys and Gloria de Paula will now serve as Saturday’s co-main event.
