In an unexpected announcement this morning, the co-Main event of UFC Vegas 24 event between Drakkar Klose vs. Jeremy Stephens was canceled by Drakkar Klose could not play. The cancellation of the match is only notified as soon as UFC Vegas 24 has started, so no one replaces Klose to promptly supplement the co-main.
Worth mentioning is why Drakkar Klose could not play from a rather strong push of Jeremy Stephens while taking Face-off photos for the match.
“After I was pushed by Jeremy at the UFC's face-off, I immediately felt numb and my throat choked. Sean Shelby and UFC staff sent me to the resuscitation room, along with UFC PT staff for 2 hours,” Klose wrote.
“I continued to eat, rehydrate, relaxed and even met Pt in late night. But the next morning, when I got up early, I was stunned, my headache, nausea and the only thing that made me feel okay to lie still in the dark.”

“UFC gave me medicine, and made me rest for a few more hours later, but when I was pulled up, I still vomited. We called UFC's evil and they decided to take me to the hospital. I was sorry to everyone waiting for this match, I tried my best, but the absence on the floor was out of my control.”
Jeremy Stephens (28-18, 1 NC), is in need of one victory because he is having 4 consecutive losses. Perhaps that made him extreme when pushing Drakkar Klose (11-2-1) at the face-off session.
