A reported injury to Luke Rockhold has forced him out of UFC 230.

The former UFC middleweight champion was scheduled for a rematch with the man he defeated for the title, Chris Weidman, in the co-feature bout at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Nov. 3. But he’s out due to multiple injuries.

MMA Fighting confirmed an initial Friday report by ESPN. Additionally, MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz has learned the UFC has offered the bout to former Strikeforce middleweight champion Ronaldo Souza. The fighter nicknamed “Jacare,” who is scheduled to fight former WSOF dual titleholder David Branch on the MSG card, is said to be considering the offer.

Pretty sure Gastelum vs Whittaker is still a go ahead. Guess after Gastelum it will be Weidman if he wins, they won't do jacare vs whittaker 2 again though.

Need some bouts to happen ASAP really to determine who gets it after Gasman.

Fights to make;

Adesanya vs Branch
Tavares vs Hall
Costa vs Brunson
