This Saturday, fans may purchase UFC 130 knowing they aren’t going to see one of the biggest rubber matches that was originally scheduled for the main event between UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard.
It isn’t the only event to have a significant fight canceled with no replacement, and there have been many fights where trying to find replacement fighters leads to the fight being removed completely or changed drastically.
This slideshow will focus not only significant fights that have had last-minute cancellations but also the fighters’ careers and what having to pull out of a fight does for them and their opponents.
