Roxanne Modafferi will fight for a UFC title this weekend.
Sijara Eubanks was hospitalized early Thursday morning and withdrew from the first UFC flyweight title fight Friday at the TUF 26 Finals in Las Vegas due to medical issues, according to a UFC statement.
Modafferi will take on Eubanks against Nicco Montaño, who successfully weighed in on Thursday morning for a scheduled fight with Barb Honchak. (Honchak now fights with Lauren Murphy)
Eubanks beat Modafferi in the semi-finals of the TUF 26 title tournament by unanimous decision to earn the right to fight Montaño in the final for the belt. But weight loss problems have plagued Eubanks throughout the season and it looks like it has knocked her out of a chance at UFC gold.
