UFC Vegas 106 Co-Main Event Canceled Minutes Before Fight Due to Medical Issue

The UFC Vegas 106 co-main event between Paul Craig and Rodolfo Bellato was canceled last minute due to a medical issue affecting Bellato, as announced during the event broadcast. Bellato, a newcomer with two UFC appearances, was unable to compete, leaving Craig, who has struggled with recent losses, without a chance to reverse his fortunes in the octagon. The UFC did not disclose the specifics of Bellato's medical condition, but the fight is expected to be rescheduled for a future event, with potential dates including late May or early June. The cancellation impacted the event's lineup, with the Mairon Santos vs. Sodiq Yusuff bout being promoted to co-main event status. Fans and commentators expressed disappointment, especially given Craig's precarious position on the UFC roster. Despite the setback, the UFC Vegas 106 event still featured several exciting fights and finishes.
