The UFC's return to Germany has taken another hit.
Ilir Latifi, who was scheduled to fight Glover Teixeira in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night Hamburg, is injured and out of the July 22 event, multiple sources told ESPN. The promotion is currently looking for a replacement to fight Teixeira.
Latifi (14-5, 1 NC) has won his past two fights in a row. He most recently defeated Ovince Saint Preux via submission in February. Teixeira (27-6) is coming off a first-round TKO of Misha Cirkunov in December.
The news comes just days after the event lost its main event as Volkan Oezdemir was removed from the card due to ongoing visa issues. As a result, Anthony Smith has been booked to fight Mauricio Rua in the headliner.
