The UFC on Fox 10 card, which will take place on January 25th in Chicago, United States, had a last-minute cancellation. Alexey Oleinik, who would make his debut for the organization against Jared Rosholt, suffered an injury and was cut from the event. As a result, the night will feature just 11 fights, as the UFC did not find a replacement for the Russian and opted to cancel the fight.
Oleinik, 36 years old, arrived in the UFC after achieving a nine-fight win streak. In the last one, he submitted the legendary Croatian fighter Mirko Cro Cop in the first round, at the Legend event, held in Russia. In total, he has a record of 48 wins, nine defeats and one draw.
Rosholt, in turn, has a much less extensive cartel. He was defeated only once in ten fights, and his UFC debut came in November, when he beat Walt Harris in the judges' decision.
The main fight of UFC on Fox 10 will be between lightweights Ben henderson, former category champion, and Josh thomson. In the co-main event, Brazilian Gabriel Napao face Stipe Miocic.
