UFC Fight Night 193 is down a man. Lightweight Leonardo Santos has withdrawn from his scheduled Oct. 2 matchup against Alexander Hernandez for undisclosed reasons. Two people with knowledge of the situation recently confirmed the change to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Hernandez (12-4 MMA, 4-3 UFC) is expected to remain on the card against a new opponent, who will be announced in the coming days. The reason for Santos’ withdrawal is not known, though Brazilian fighter hinted in a recent Instagram post that the fight may be delayed due to “personal reasons.” The fight cancellation is the sixth in the UFC for Santos (18-4 MMA, 7-1-1 UFC), who has only fought nine times over the span of his eight-year promotional tenure.
