Kamuela Kirk vs. Esteban Ribovics Is Off UFC 285 Fight Card

Kamuela-Kirk

UFC 285, arguably the biggest MMA PPV event of the year, is just one week away but there have been some last-minute changes to the fight card.

Headlining this massive fight card is former interim heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane welcoming back Jon Jones to his new weight class for the undisputed heavyweight title.

Unfortunately, UFC 285 has taken a hit, as a great featherweight bout was just scratched from the event. Kamuela Kirk had to withdraw from his bout against Dana White’s Contender Series alumni Esteban Ribovics.

Kirk announced that he suffered a fracture in his lower back during training and that he went and got multiple different opinions and they all said that it was better for him to heal up than to fight hurt.
