Less than a week after his UFC debut was scheduled, middleweight Michal Materla backtracked and withdrew from signing a contract with the UFC. The fighter, who had verbally agreed to hire the company chaired by Dana White, changed his mind and renewed his contract with KSW, the biggest MMA event in Poland, in which Materla held the 84kg belt. The information is from the Combate channel website.
