One Fighter Out of UFC Vegas 107 Card

It’s an unfortunate situation for Wells, who hasn’t competed since Feb. 2024. He has been attempting to get back inside the Octagon to shed a two-fight skid. After putting together a six-fight winning streak, Wells was submitted by Carlston Harris. He then fell short in his matchup with Max Griffin, losing via split decision. Time will tell when Wells will have the opportunity to get back in the win column.

As for Gustafsson, there might be some good news coming his way. It’s been reported that the UFC is seeking a replacement opponent. UFC Vegas 107 is 10 days away, and the top MMA promotion has been able to find suitable replacement options within that time frame in the past.

“Bane” eagerly awaits the call, as this is supposed to be his UFC debut. Gustafsson earned a deal with the promotion following an impressive showing against Pat Pytlik on “Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series.” Gustafsson scored a second round finish via strikes.
