A heavyweight clash between Karl Williams and Chase Sherman has been removed from tonight’s (Sat., April 8, 2023) UFC 287 card live on ESPN+ PPV from inside Miami-Dade Arena in Miami, Florida. The news was announced at the start of the “Prelims” broadcast.
Per UFC announcer, Jon Anik, there was a medical issue on the side of Sherman that prevented “Vanilla Gorilla” from making the walk tonight in Miami. As a result, UFC 287’s “Prelims” will be cut down to seven contests.
Williams, who made a successful UFC debut with a decision win over Lukasz Brzeski just one month ago, stepped up on short notice to fill in for an absent Chris Barnett. Unfortunately, it was Sherman who couldn’t show up on Saturday after coming down with a medical issue following Friday’s weigh ins. Sherman is just 1-5 in his last six trips to the Octagon so this is not a setback he needed.
