Changes to the Fight Card
Sometimes, fighters get hurt before an event. This means they cannot compete. For UFC 160, some fights had to change.
- Alistair Overeem was supposed to fight Junior dos Santos. But Overeem got a leg injury. So, Mark Hunt stepped in to fight Dos Santos instead.
- Ryan Bader was set to fight Glover Teixeira. He also got injured. James Te Huna took his place.
- Amir Sadollah was going to fight Stephen Thompson. Sadollah got injured too. Nah-Shon Burrell replaced him.
- Gunnar Nelson was supposed to fight Mike Pyle. Nelson got hurt. Rick Story fought Pyle instead.
One fighter, Khabib Nurmagomedov, weighed a little too much for his fight. So, his fight was changed to a "catchweight" fight. This means they agreed on a different weight limit.
