The UFC Saudi Arabia card has gone through a lot of short-notice changes.

The hyped middleweight Sharabutdin Magomedov will now face Antonio Trocoli as his former opponent Joilton Lutterbach pulled out. UFC CEO Dana White announced the news on Instagram.

On his social media, Lutterbach claimed he was pulled from the fight by the anti-doping commission because of a substance found in his urine.

“Sorry guys, the doping comminsion canceled my fight because of a substance found in my urine,” Lutterbach wrote on Instagram.

Even though he only has one fight in the UFC so far, the undefeated Dagestani striker Magomedov is a fighter gaining a lot of attention. He made his promotional debut at UFC 294 this past October with a unanimous decision win against Bruno Silva.
