Henry Cejudo has withdrawn from the RAF 08 main event against Merab Dvalishvili in Philadelphia after suffering a last-minute injury.
The scheduled Cejudo vs. Dvalishvili matchup at RAF 08 has been canceled. RAF officials stated, "Henry Cejudo is out due to injury, and his matchup with Merab Dvalishvili has been canceled," confirming the change on the eve of the event.
In response, RAF officials have reshuffled the top of the card. "Arman Tsarukyan vs Urijah Faber is now the main event of the evening, with Kyle Snyder vs Rizabek Aitmukhan as the co-main event."
Cejudo and Dvalishvili were set to compete on wrestling mats at RAF 08 and had previously met under the UFC banner. Cejudo appeared at the RAF 08 press conference the day before his withdrawal. RAF has not disclosed the nature or significance of Cejudo's injury or announced any rescheduling plans.
