Medeiros was hoping to snap a three-fight losing skid at tonight’s event. The Hawaiian standout has gone 2-3 over his past five fights, including knockout wins over Erick Silva and Alex Oliveira.

Meanwhile Damir Hadzovic has gone 2-2 under the UFC banner since making his promotional debut back in 2018. Hadzovic had intentions of bringing his record back over the .500 mark with a victory over Medeiros.

With that news, tonight’s UFC Vegas 27 event will proceed with a total of twelve bouts.
