Due to medical issues following weight-cut complications, Bobby Green will be unable to compete against Jim Miller at UFC 258.
MMA Fighting was the first to report the news that the fight has been canceled. Bobby Green was not cleared by doctors to compete at UFC 258 after collapsing following this afternoon’s UFC 258 weigh-ins. The fight would have been Green’s first pay-per-view main card bout since UFC 199 in 2016.
