Hurricane Milton is shaking up the UFC Vegas 98 fight card.
Heavyweight hurter Chris Barnett is from Tampa, Florida, which is immediately within the line of fireplace of this week’s catastrophic storm. In consequence, “Huggy Bear” will probably be unable to take part in the upcoming UFC Vegas 98 MMA event on Oct. 12 in “Sin Metropolis.”
Changing Barnett is UFC newcomer Sean Sharaf. The Californian is an ideal 4-0 with 4 first-round knockouts. His first task comes towards veteran bruiser Junior Tafa (5-3), who agreed to the short-notice battle after Barnett withdrew.
UFC.com introduced phrase of the change on Wednesday.
This isn’t the primary time a “Sunshine State” superstorm has affected UFC plans. Again in late 2017, former welterweight contender Thiago Alves got stranded by Hurricane Irma, resulting in the cancellation of his Mike Perry showdown in Pittsburgh.
Hopefully Barnett and his household will be capable of protect their property and safely evacuate.
