Jared Gordon out of UFC Vegas 74 fight against Jim Miller
Jared Gordon won’t be able to fight Jim Miller after all.
Gordon has been forced to withdraw from his short-notice bout at UFC Vegas 74, leaving Miller without an opponent for the Saturday card. MMA Fighting confirmed the news Thursday following an initial report by David Van Auken.
UFC officials are currently hunting for a replacement opponent to keep Miller on the card, per sources.
Gordon stepped in on short-notice in mid May after Miller’s initial opponent, Ludovit Klein, withdrew due to illness.
UFC Vegas 74 takes place June 3 at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
The event is headlined by a flyweight matchup between one-time interim title challenger Kai Kara-France and fast-rising prospect Amir Albazi.
