Big changes are coming to UFC Vegas 118 as a promising bantamweight bout has been scrapped due to injury. Former UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad is set to headline the event on June 6 at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, aiming to snap a two-fight losing streak against Gabriel Bonfim. But before the main event, fans were eagerly anticipating the clash between Marcus McGhee (10-2) and Jakub Wikłacz (18-3-2), which was shaping up to be a highlight of the packed undercard.

Unfortunately, those plans took a hit when Wikłacz announced his withdrawal on Saturday, citing an arm injury. The former KSW bantamweight champion shared the disappointing news on Instagram, posting a photo of his arm in a sling. "The moment I didn’t expect has arrived," he wrote. "Injury prevents me from fighting and training for a while. I am now focused on recovery. I just need a moment to fix myself and come back even stronger. I will come back with double the force."

With Wikłacz out, it’s unclear whether McGhee will remain on the card with a new opponent or if the bout will be rescheduled for a later date. Either way, the loss of this matchup is a blow to a card that already boasts plenty of intrigue beyond the main event.

Speaking of which, the co-main event features a middleweight showdown between Brendan Allen and Edmen Shahbazyan, a fight that could have major implications in the division. Bryce Mitchell is also set to compete, adding further depth to the lineup. The full updated card, adjusted after Wikłacz’s withdrawal, promises plenty of action for fight fans.

As the MMA world buzzes with anticipation, this shakeup serves as a reminder of the unpredictability that makes the sport so compelling. Whether you're gearing up for fight night or just staying on top of the latest news, UFC Vegas 118 is shaping up to be a must-watch event.
