It isn’t often that both fighters in a planned bout come down with injuries, but that is the case ahead of UFC Fight Night 109.
Heavyweights Christian Colombo and Damian Grabowski both informed officials that they will not be able to compete at UFC Fight Night 109 next Sunday from Stockholm, Sweden and the Ericsson Globe.
Colombo (8-2-1) and Grabowski (20-4) were set to begin the event on UFC Fight Pass. With such short notice, it is likely the UFC just moves ahead with the card as is.
Neither fighter has recorded a victory inside the Octagon yet, with Colombo being 0-1-1 and Grabowski 0-2.
