UFC South Dakota Loses Featherweight Fight
The UFC Fight Night 91 fight card has undergone a major shake-up this week.
Originally headlined by a pivotal lightweight bout between Michael Chiesa and Tony Ferguson, UFC Fight Night 91 now features a bantamweight battle between Michael McDonald and John Lineker. On Tuesday, a back injury forced Chiesa to withdraw from the fight with Ferguson, who will remain on the fight card, but will face newcomer Landon Vannata.

L ater on Tuesday, UFC officials announced that a featherweight bout between Alex White and Ryan Hall had been pulled from the card. White suffered an injury and could not fight. With White out, Hall requested to fight on a different date rather than take a new opponent for the South Dakota card.
With the White vs. Hall bout cancelled, UFC Fight Night 91 will move forward as a 12-bout fight card. It takes place on July 13 in Sioux Falls, S.D.
