Here’s your Fight Size MMA Update for the evening of June 16th:
- According to ESPN's Ariel Helwani, Bruno Silva has pulled out of this Saturday's scheduled fight with Deron Winn. However, he reports that there's hope Winn will remain on the card.
Prospect Deron Winn makes his UFC debut in 6 days in Greenville, and he’s searching for his 3rd opponent. First it was Markus Perez, then Bruno Silva, but Silva is now out, I’m told. The hope is he’ll remain on the card.
