Charlie Campbell pulls out of Mauricio Ruffy fight

The sage of booking Mauricio Ruffy’s second UFC appearance continues.

Ruffy (10-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) is once again opponent-less for UFC 309 after Charlie Campbell (9-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) withdrew. The search is once again on to find a willing opponent for the Nov. 16 event at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Two people with knowledge of the situation recently informed MMA Junkie of the change but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.

The Fighting Nerds’ Ruffy dazzled fight fans in his UFC debut in May as he stalked and knocked out seasoned veteran Jamie Mullarkey inside the first round. Since then, the promotion has tried to book Ruffy for at least three different pay-per-view events (UFC 303, UFC 307, and now UFC 309) but have not found an opponent to make it to the cage.

With the change, the UFC 309 lineup includes:

  • Champ Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic – for heavyweight title
  • Michael Chandler vs. Charles Oliveira
  • Viviane Araujo vs. Karine Silva
  • Paul Craig vs. Bo Nickal
  • Eryk Anders vs. Chris Weidman
  • Mauricio Ruffy vs. TBA
  • Nikita Krylov vs. Azamat Murzakanov
  • Damon Jackson vs. Jim Miller
  • Veronica Hardy vs. Eduarda Moura
  • Jonathan Martinez vs. Marcus McGhee
  • Ramiz Brahimaj vs. Mickey Gall
  • Bassil Haffez vs. Oban Elliot
  • Lucas Almeida vs. David Onama

Latest scores – Moody in control

It’s been a real exhibition from Stan Moody so far.

After that safety-filled opening frame, the teenager has got into a lovely rhythm.

He’s now just one frame away from a place in tomorrow’s last-16 after a superb century.

Over on Table 1, Mark Williams and Noppon Saengkham are set to begin the final match of Day 4.

Latest scores – Wilson beats McGill

The reigning world champion is through – but only just.

What a marathon match, going right down the wire.

McGill is desperately unlucky but falls just short of a shock win, potting the cue ball as he looks to get on the green.

Wilson snookers him behind the blue, racking up the points needed in fouls.

Impressive on Table 2 from Stan Moody, as the 18-year-old Yorkshireman extends his lead over Jak Jones.

A classy break of 98 puts him in control.

Latest scores – McGill holds on

After five frames of high-quality snooker, both players subject us to a proper grind.

There are oohs and aahs from the crowd as both Wilson and McGill miss numerous straightforward pots.

It looks like The Warrior is all set to battle through to the next round.

But a poor red jaws out again, allowing McGill to take it to a decider.

Belter of a first frame as Jones and Moody both show off their potting prowess.

Things eventually descend into a safety battle, with neither player yet to come out on top.

Over on Table 1, Wilson has missed an easy red to let McGill back into the frame…

  • Anthony McGill 2-3 Kyren Wilson
  • Jak Jones 0-0 Stan Moody

Latest scores – Wilson takes over

Just like that, the reigning world champ leads.

Anthony McGill must wonder what more he has to do. Two century breaks and another 55 – but he’s losing.
