MARK Striegl will have to wait a little much longer before he makes his UFC debut.
The Fil-Am fighter has been pulled from UFC Fight Night: Munhoz vs Edgar this Saturday (Sunday, Manila time) for undisclosed reasons.
In a report of MMA Junkie, no reason has been given yet for the card change.
Striegl, who holds an 18-2 (1 NC) record, was supposed to make his much awaited debut for the promotion after a stellar career highlighted in his stops in ONE Championship, Pacific Xtreme Combat, and Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC).
Instead, Russian bantamweight Timur Valiev (16-2) will now fight Trevin Jones (12-6) at UFC Apex in Las Vegas, according to Russian reporter Igor Lazorin.
Striegl, a gold medalist in the 30th Southeast Asian Games, has just signed his UFC contract last week.
