News Jimmie Rivera out of UFC 247

[Goodfella86]

It sucks that he had to pull out, because this was an excellent matchup with some heat between them. I hope they find a replacement, but it's not looking great.

Vera is off the card. They added a replacement fight between two newbies today to take their place.

Promotion is apparently trying to keep the Rivera/Vera pairing intact and reschedule it for a future event as Rivera's issue is apparently minor.

I’m ok with not watching Jimmie “The Decision” Rivera fight.

This. Dude is fucking boring.

This. Dude is fucking boring.

But he has fast twitch for days... it doesn't really come to anything, but the guy IS fast!!!

The loss of this fight is the reason I decided not to attend it live. It was a Top 3 fight for me (behind Bektic/Ige and Jones/Reyes). This card is pretty bad on paper and not worth the price to attend

I feel like Marlon Vera is always either fighting a replacement or is the replacement

The 2 guys that replaced will be going hard for a finish so hopefully we have some fresh contender that comes out of it. It’s the big leagues we can expect 1 of them to try and do something. It’s not always the known names that bring exciting fights
