Neil Magny out of UFC Rochester co-headliner vs. Vicente Luque; replacement sought
Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 10 card is down half its co-headliner with Neil Magny out of his scheduled welterweight matchup against Vicente Luque.
Magny (21-7 MMA, 14-6 UFC) has withdrawn from the matchup with Luque (15-6-1 MMA, 8-2 UFC) due to undisclosed reasons, a UFC official told MMA Junkie on Monday night.
Even though the event is just five days away, the organization is looking for a replacement opponent to fill in and fight Luque.
UFC on ESPN+ 10 took place at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y. The entire card streamed on ESPN+.
Luque is on a four-fight winning streak, most recently defeating Bryan Barberena by third-round TKO in February at UFC on ESPN 1. That fight is sure to hold up as a “Fight of the Year” candidate. Luque has won eight of his past nine fights overall, with each of those victories being a finish.
Magny, meanwhile, is coming off a fourth-round knockout loss to Santiago Ponzinibbio last November in the UFC Fight Night 140 main event, which snapped a two-fight winning streak.
With Magny’s withdrawal, the UFC on ESPN+ 10 lineup now includes:
MAIN CARD (ESPN+, 8 p.m. ET)
- Rafael dos Anjos vs. Kevin Lee
- Vicente Luque vs. opponent TBA
- Ian Heinisch vs. Antonio Carlos Junior
- Megan Anderson vs. Felicia Spencer
- Nik Lentz vs. Charles Oliveira
- Austin Hubbard vs. Davi Ramos
PRELIMINARY CARD (ESPN+, 5 p.m. ET)
- Sijara Eubanks vs. Aspen Ladd
- Desmond Green vs. Charles Jourdain
- Michel Pereira vs. Danny Roberts
- Grant Dawson vs. Mike Trizano
- Patrick Cummins vs. Ed Herman
- Zak Cummings vs. Trevin Giles
- Julio Arce vs. Julian Erosa

Anthony Smith on Alex Pereira: ‘Given the opportunity, we both would jump on it’
Anthony Smith knows he’s not currently in the title picture, but hopes he gets an opportunity to face Alex Pereira some day. The pair traded barbs in the past, but Smith insists it’s nothing personal. UFC light heavyweight champion Pereira (10-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) currently awaits his next challenger...
