Prior to UFC 203, UFC middleweight CB Dollaway was pulled from his scheduled fight with Francimar Barroso after it was revealed that he sustained a back injury the night before their scheduled UFC 203 fight. While details regarding the injury weren’t immediately available, a report emerged shortly after that Dollaway was one of several UFC 203 fighters stuck on an elevator the night before the fight. Unfortunately, Dollaway was injured in the elevator mishap, and was forced to withdraw from the bout with a back injury.

This Saturday, the UFC will set up shop in Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena with UFC 203. The card will be headlined by a heavyweight title fight between champion Stipe Miocic and challenger Alistair Overeem, while the co-main event will see former heavyweight champ Fabricio Werdum attempt to regain his footing against an old foe in Travis Browne. The card will also see WWE star CM Punk make his MMA debut opposite dangerous prospect Mickey Gall. Bovoda.com (per Sherdog.com) has identified Miocic as a -145 favorite for his first title defense. Overeem, on the other hand, has been pegged as a +115 dog. These close odds are reflective of the mammoth talent of both men, and the anything-can-happen nature of clashes between elite heavyweights.
