UFC 313 card lost two fights shortly before the action began on Saturday.
Nr. 5 heavy weight blaydes withdrew from his fight with Rizvan Kuniev. According to Blaydes, he went down with Norovirus overnight, and despite trying to recover, “his body would not cooperate.”

Blaydes said the war will be planned for a later date. This makes it the second time the war has been canceled and needs a new date.
Initially, Blaydes and Kuniev had to fight in February, but the period was postponed to UFC 313. Now, we can see that it was planned again.

Blaydes has not fought since it was dropped by Tom Asinall in the first round of their match in July 2024. Kuniev hoped to make his main debut.
He won a place on the UFC list with a TKO’s first round win over Hugo Canha in the Dana White contenders series in August 2024. I would doubt that this war is soon planned.
In addition to cancellation of Blaydes-Kuniev, UFC was also forced to call the war John Castaneda vs Chris Gutierrez.

Castaneda also became ill and was unable to compete. It is not known if the diseases are related. He was originally supposed to fight Douglas Silva de Andrade on March 1, but the latter had medical issues that prevented him from competing.
Castaneda’s war was postponed on March 8, and Gutierrez grew to get the period with short notice. With the last minute deductions from the card, UFC 313 was left with only 10 fights.
Castaneda has now been out of action for nearly a year, with his last war that is taking place in June 2024. He lost that war through the unanimous decision against Daniel Marcos. Gutierrez overthrew Quang Lee in August 2024, so he is not dealing as long as resting.

Perhaps it is reassessed in the near future. It is possible that this fight can be reset to a future card over the next two months.
Fortunately, none of the fighting that withdrew from the formation came from the salary to watch the show.
