Arguably the most anticipated matchup on RAF 5 is no longer.
Due to Yoel Romero missing weight, his scheduled wrestling match Saturday vs. Bo Nickal has been canceled, the promotion announced hours before the start of the event at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Fla. As a result, Romero was stripped of the light heavyweight title, which was then given to Nickal.

Romero will now compete against Stephen Buchanan, who also missed weight. Nickal and Buchanan’s original opponent, Pat Downey, will not compete.
Additionally, Jordan Oliver missed weight and was stripped of the featherweight title. He’ll still compete in a one-way title fight vs. Real Woods. The event streams on FOX Nation.
