Following Friday’s weigh-ins, UFC Vegas 36 has lost a fight, as it’s being reported that Jonathan Martinez has withdrawn from the card.

Martinez was booked to face Marcelo Rojo at today’s event, and came in at 138 pounds for the bantamweight fight. Since then, ESPN Deportes has reported that Martinez is no longer competing, as a result of complications stemming from his weight cut.

The 27-year-old Martinez (13-4), who has missed weight for another UFC fight, is coming off a knockout loss to Davey Grant in March.

Today’s card will be hosted by the Apex Facility in Las Vegas and will feature Darren Till taking on Derek Brunson in the main event.
