The troubles continue to mount for UFC Perth as the promotion announced late Friday that heavyweight Justin Tafa has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled bout against Louie Sutherland due to illness.
The UFC’s return to Perth was meant to be another showcase for Australian fight fans. Instead, it’s been a week of setbacks, withdrawals, and empty seats.
The heavyweight division is always good for chaos, and Saturday’s UFC Fight Night clash between Justin Tafa and newcomer Louie Sutherland is a prime example.
