While the UFC initially blamed the card’s cancellation on strict drug testing procedures in the Philippines, the Philippine commission was quick to respond with a statement that indicated that the card was indeed cancelled because of Penn’s withdrawal given that the UFC Hall of Famer is a marquee fighter.

On Saturday, former UFC champion Brock Lesnar will make his highly anticipated UFC return after nearly 5 years away from the sport.
