UFC 316 reportedly loses major main card fight

Report: Marlon Vera out of his fight with Mario Bautista at UFC 316

As reported by MagicM on X, Marlon Vera is out of his fight with Mario Bautista on the main card of UFC 316.

Vera is looking to recoup from back-to-back losses and snap Bautista's seven-fight winning streak in the process.

For Bautista, a fight with Vera was an ample opportunity to gain fanfare after a controversial victory against Jose Aldo in 2024.

Details of Vera's possible withdrawal are not yet confirmed.

With the report, UFC 316 is potentially down to 11 fights if the UFC can't find a replacement.
