What is the story about?

UFC Fight Night 293 has lost one half of its main event.

Sean Brady is out of the Nov. 7 headliner due to injury, leaving Gabriel Bonfim without an opponent. The five-round welterweight bout was scheduled atop the card at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas.

A person with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the injury Thursday, but asked to remain anonymous because the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Brazilian journalist Laerte Viana was first to report.

It's unclear if the promotion is seeking a replacement to fight Bonfim (20-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC), or if it's eyeing a new main event entirely. The co-main event currently is a women's strawweight contenders bout between Virna Jandiroba and Tatiana Suarez.

Brady (19-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC)

aimed to build on momentum gained during a May unanimous decision victory over Joaquin Buckley. Bonfim is seeking his second main event win in a row, following a unanimous decision victory over Belal Muhammad in June. A victory would extend his overall streak to six.
