UFC light heavyweight Aaron Rosa (16-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) will not be a part of UFC on Versus 6 in Washington D.C.
A source close to the situation today confirmed the news with BleacherReport.com.
Rosa was set to face Fabio Maldonado (18-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC), but an undisclosed injury suffered to Maldonado has axed the matchup from the event.
After making a successful debut in the organization, Maldonado dropped a decision to Kyle Kingsbury at “The Ultimate Fighter” 13 Finale.
Rosa made his Octagon debut at UFC 131 against Joey Beltran in the heavyweight division where he lost by third round knockout.
He was set to return to the light heavyweight division where he previously spent time competing leading up to joining the UFC roster.
Rosa and Maldonado, who were slated to compete on the preliminary portion of the event will now have to wait to step back into the Octagon.
