According to Mark Godbeer, the UFC is looking for a new opponent for him to face on March 4th, as the heavyweight’s reporting Todd Duffee has withdrawn from their fight.

The heavyweights were scheduled to fight at UFC 209, which will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada. Recently Godbeer posted the following comments, however, on Facebook:

A quick update, unfortunately i have woke to the news that Todd Duffee is out of our scheduled bout at #ufc209 for reasons yet to be disclosed.. Me and my management team are working along side ufc matchmakers to find a replacement. We have reached out to a replacement so just waiting on a reply. Either way i will be fighting at ufc 209.. I have trained harder than ever before covering all areas so i will fight who they have to offer. Real fighters fight regardless.

The UFC has not made any official announcement regarding the match-up. Duffee hasn’t fought since 2015 when he was knocked out by Frank Mir.
