BREAKING: Jared Gordon out of UFC Vegas 74 fight against Jim Miller

UFC Vegas 74 is now just two days away, but it has been announced today that the card has lost one of its biggest fights in the form of Jared Gordon vs. Jim Miller.

According to David Van Auken on Twitter, lightweight contender Gordon has been sidelined for an as-of-yet undisclosed reason. The clash was supposed to be part of Saturday’s main card.

Reliable MMA journalist Marcel Dorff has suggested that a replacement for ‘Flash’ will be announced by the UFC soon, although as of the time of writing, nothing has been confirmed.

In a reply to his tweet, the Dutch journalist has also stated that Miller’s new fight will remain part of Saturday’s card rather than being bumped onto a future event:
