TUF 25 Finale Gets Last-Minute Change as Steve Bosse Drops Off Fight Card
With just three days to go until fight time, The Ultimate Fighter 25 Finale has taken a hit to the main card.
Light heavyweights Jared Cannonier and Steve Bosse were expected to slug it out on the TUF 25 Finale main card on Friday, but Bosse unexpectedly withdrew from the event on Tuesday. MMAWeekly.com sources confirmed an initial report by MMAJunkie, noting that UFC newcomer Nick Roehrick would step in on short notice to fill Bosse's gloves.
Cannonier (9-2) entered the UFC as a heavyweight, but made the move to light heavyweight for his last couple of bouts. It was unclear as of the time of publication if the fight would remain at light heavyweight, but given the short notice, it is likely that the bout would take place at heavyweight.
