UFC 303 has taken another hit to its main card with the loss of surging light heavyweight contender Carlos Ulberg from his scheduled bout with Anthony Smith. As the June 29 card continues to be cursed, a one-time title challenger has found himself at odds with the scale ahead of a pivotal matchup this Saturday at UFC Saudi Arabia.
On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck reacts to Ulberg’s scratch from next Saturday’s pay-per-view card, discussions ongoing for Smith to face Roman Dolidze, and thoughts on the potential new matchup. Additionally, listener questions include Kelvin Gastelum’s latest issues with his weight, his scheduled welterweight bout with Daniel Rodriguez for this Saturday becoming a middleweight bout, the UFC and free agents, and more.
Also, UFC Vegas 93 winner Westin Wilson joins the show to recap his first UFC win, and he reacts to not getting a bonus for his triangle armbar submission of Jeka Saragih, and more.
You can listen live to Heck of a Morning Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 a.m. ET on the MMA Fighting Twitter Spaces.
