The UFC Fight Night 37 card, which takes place on March 8th, suffered a huge loss this Thursday (13th). In a meeting with the press in Las Vegas (USA), president Dana White revealed that flyweight Ian McCall was injured and was cut from the event in London.

At UFC Fight Night 37, McCall would face Brad pickett on the main card of the night. The duel marks Pickett's debut at flyweight, after almost four years as a bantamweight – since he was still playing for the now-defunct WEC. Ultimate has not commented on a possible replacement for Ian McCall on fight night or even the removal of the fight from the card.

Vale lembrar que o UFC Fight Night 37 é um evento considerado chave para a organização em seu novo planejamento de transmissão em mídias digitais. Isso porque o evento em Londres vai ser o primeiro card transmitido via “UFC Fight Pass”, plataforma de conteúdo on-demand organization, after the service is free of charge. To follow the fight night in the United States, the public will have to start a monthly subscription plan worth US$9,99 (approximately R$24).
