The upcoming UFC 233 PPV that was scheduled for January 26th has been canceled. The event was scheduled
to feature the UFC debut of undefeated Ben Askren [18-0-0-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC] vs. Robbie Lawler [28-12-0-1
MMA, 13-6 UFC]. The card's bouts are expected to be rescheduled and redistributed amongst other fight cards.

The event was designed to air as counter-programming against Bellator 214, which is scheduled to feature Ryan
Bader [26-5 MMA, 4-0 BMMA] vs. Fedor Emelianenko [38-5-0-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA] for the Bellator Heavyweight
Championship, Gegard Mousasi [45-6-2 MMA, 3-0 BMMA] vs. Rafael Lovato, Jr. [9-0 MMA, 5-0 BMMA] for the
Bellator Middleweight Championship and the MMA debut of former WWE star Jake Hager [a.k.a. "Jack Swagger"].





UFC fighter Kamaru Usman [14-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC] has signed a bout agreement to fight Tyron Woodley [19-3-1 MMA, 9-2-1
UFC] for the UFC Welterweight Championship. Woodley, who is still recovering from an injury, has yet to sign the agreement.





UFC Bantamweight Dominick Cruz [22-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC] is injured once again [imagine that . . ],
most likely forcing him out of his upcoming fight against John Lineker [31-8 MMA, 12-3 UFC].





The California State Athletic Commission has granted UFC Light Heavyweight Jon Jones [22-1-0-1 MMA, 16-1-0-1 UFC] a temporary
license to fight, paving the way for his upcoming rematch against Alexander Gustafsson [18-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC] at UFC 232 on December 29th.
