UFC 203 will hit Cleveland, Ohio this weekend for a September 10 pay-per-view bonanza. The main event pits heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic against highly decorated striker Alistair Overeem. Miocic will fight on home soil in his first title defense, and the Dutch destroyer will hope to continue the recent trend of titles changing hands in quick succession. The co-main event hold interesting implications and both men have history with the main event stars for the evening.

Travis Browne spectacularly knocked out Alistair Overeem in 2013, and Fabricio Werdum submitted has a 1-1 record against the ‘The Reem.’ Miocic sparked Werdum a UFC 198 to win the strap he defends this weekend, making the heavyweight square dance of UFC 203 all the more interesting.

Heavy Hands Up

The much anticipated/lamented UFC and MMA debut of CM Punk will also go down at UFC 203. The welterweight showdown with Mickey Gall could ironically hold more ramifications than we give it credit for. Should Punk get the win against Gall, the lines between sport and entertainment will blur even more. That issue has already caused plenty of hot debate lately.

Tune in at 6 PM ET to watch the guys and girls of UFC 203 in the traditional weigh-ins live stream. The early weigh-in results will be updated at around midday ET.

The UFC 203 pay-per-view event will go down this Saturday September 10, but without one of its original bouts. The flyweight tilt between Ian McCall and Ray Borg has been called off due to sickness. ‘Uncle Creepy’ has not competed since his January 2015 loss to John Lineker at UFC 183. The former title challenger was set to come back in August of the same year against Dustin Ortiz, but fell injured just weeks prior to UFC Fight Night 73.

McCall was then slated for a 125-pound burner against Justin Scoggins at UFC 201. ‘Tank’ was pulled from that fight just two days before, leaving ‘Uncle Creepy’ without an opponent. It appears that almost identical circumstances have struck again at UFC 203. As confirmed by FOX Sports, Borg was taken ill late Wednesday night and removed from the card. After a short period of attempting to find a replacement, the promotion also removed McCall from the card.

Unlucky Uncle

That’s two fights within months that have fallen apart for Ian McCall, making him perhaps the unluckiest uncle in the UFC right now. As a result of Ray Borg being pulled, and also visa issues forcing the delay of Damir Hadzovic vs. Yukawa Kazuya, there are now three fights on the Fight Pass and FOX prelims. The main event for the evening remains intact of course, as heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic takes on the highly decorated knockout artist Alistair Overeem.

Somehow CM Punk finds himself on a main card for his first ever MMA fight against Mickey Gall. The co-main event for the show in Cleveland, Ohio is the rematch between Fabricio Werdum and Travis Browne.
