There was one major cancellation on the main card, with Askar Askarov vs. Brandon Royval cancelled due to weight-cutting issues from Askarov. You can find Royval’s reaction to the grim news below.

Woke up at 127… before I started the weight cut I heard my opponents not going to make weight. They turned down a catch weight, so it looks like the fight is off. Heartbroken but thank you @tylermintonnutrition for another easy weight cut ?? we stay professional on our end. ??— Brandon (@brandonroyval) October 14, 2022
