The Brazilian William Patolino suffered an injury during his training and will no longer be part of the UFC 193 card, an event scheduled for November in Australia. To replace Patolino, the Ultimate organization announced the entry of James Moontasri in the fight against Brendan O'Reilly.
The information about Patolino's departure from the event was released by the Australian newspaper “Brisbane Times”. The type of injury suffered by the Brazilian, however, was not disclosed by the publication. Patolino hasn't fought since February this year, when he was knocked out by Matt Dwyer at UFC Porto Alegre, his second consecutive defeat in the Octagon.
UFC 193 takes place on November 14th, at Etihad Stadium, a football stadium with a capacity for more than 70 thousand people, in Melbourne, Australia. In the main fight of the night, the champion Ronda Rousey has an undefeated duel against the former boxer Holly holm. In the evening's co-main event, Joanna Jedrzejczyk puts her belt on the line against Canadian Valerie Letourneau.
With Patolino's departure, the Australian event is left with just two Brazilian representatives: Ricardo Demente, who faces Dan Kelly, and Antonio Pezão, who takes revenge against Mark Hunt.
