Cody Garbrandt vs. Rani Yahya scratched from UFC Vegas 58

Cody Garbrandt and Rani Yahya will no longer be fighting on July 9.

Multiple sources inform BJPENN.com that Yahya has suffered a neck injury that has forced him to pull out of his fight against Gabrandt. At this time, it’s uncertain if the fight will be rebooked for a later date or if a replacement will be found. The main event of UFC Vegas 58 sees Rafael dos Anjos taking on Rafael Fiziev from the UFC Apex.

Cody Garbrandt (12-5) is coming off the TKO loss to Kai Kara-France in his flyweight debut. He was set to return to bantamweight for this fight after his 125lbs debut did not go to plan. Prior to the loss, he suffered a decision loss to Rob Font after knocking out Raphael Assuncao. Before the win over Assuncao, Garbrandt suffered three-straight knockout losses to TJ Dillashaw, twice to lose his bantamweight title, and then suffered a TKO loss to Pedro Munhoz.
