Derrick Lewis out of UFC Edmonton, fight against Jhonata Diniz scrapped from card
Derrick Lewis is no longer competing at UFC Edmonton.
The heavyweight was forced out of his fight scheduled against Jhonata Diniz with the bout now scrapped from the card set to take place on Saturday night at Rogers Place.
Lewis was forced out of the contest due to a non-weight cut related medical issue, per UFC officials.
While Lewis did appear at the official weigh-ins on Friday morning he wasn’t at the ceremonial weigh-ins later on Friday, which raised suspicions about his readiness for the fight. A few hours later, UFC officials confirmed that Lewis was being pulled from the event and his fight with Diniz was cancelled.
It’s an unfortunate turn of events for Lewis, who was looking to build on a win over Rodrigo Nascimento back in May as he extended his record for most knockouts in UFC history with 15 overall.
Meanwhile, Diniz misses out on the chance to face an established veteran and former title challenger in Lewis after starting out his UFC career with two straight wins while amassing a perfect 8-0 record overall.
The UFC Edmonton card now moves forward with 13 total bouts, although the UFC hasn’t announced which preliminary card bout is expected to take the main card slot vacated by Lewis vs. Diniz.
Five days after Spain’s historic victory, a defiant Rubiales repeatedly insisted at a RFEF emergency meeting that he would not resign.
Putellas, who was on holiday at the time of the meeting, said she was “outraged”.
She said: “The lies, the attitude, defending himself, but at the same time he was attacking Jenni.
“Those people knew the truth and they applauded him just to protect themselves.”
It was the turning point. Later that day, 81 Spanish players – including all 23 who went to the World Cup – announced they would not play for Spain’s women’s team until Rubiales was removed from his position.
“We wanted a structural change. We needed a change because the system couldn’t remain like that,” Putellas said.
Putellas, who kickstarted the ‘se acabo’ movement which was followed by both her fellow players and wider Spanish society, added: “It had exploded and there was no way back.”
However, it took more than two weeks after the players’ statement to the RFEF and a wave of further condemnation before Rubiales admitted defeat and resigned his position.
The 47-year-old has since been banned from all football-related activities for three years by Fifa, while it was announced earlier this year that he will stand trial for sexual assault over kissing Hermoso without her consent. He denies the charges, and says he is the victim of a “social assassination”.
The players’ boycott finally came to an end when they reached an agreement with the RFEF, which apologised and committed to “immediate and profound changes”.
“The fact that all of our team, as well as players from all over the world, were willing to take a stand, that gave me so much strength for everything. I think it gave me a superpower to confront it and keep going,” Hermoso said in the documentary.
“As a result of this we’ve sent a precedent, and there are so many women who can feel stronger.”
BBC Sport asked the RFEF for its response to the allegations in the documentary, but has yet to receive a response.

Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze and midfielder Adam Wharton are both set to be out for a month with their injuries, says manager Oliver Glasner.
Both players went off during the Eagles’ midweek Carabao Cup last-16 win against Aston Villa.
Wharton is to undergo surgery for a groin issue while forward Eberechi Eze is out with a hamstring injury.
“It will be very ambitious to have [Eze] back after the [mid-November] international break, but I know we have a great medical department and he will work quite hard, so let’s see,” said Glasner.
“We took the final decision [on Wharton], he will have surgery. He tried [training] but the pain is too much and then it makes no sense. He has really struggled in the last weeks and months.
“So now we took the decision to have the surgery, and we hope to have him back after maybe four weeks.”
Palace, who secured their first Premier League win of the season by beating Tottenham 1-0 last weekend, are away at fellow strugglers Wolves on Saturday.
They will also be without Colombian midfielder Jefferson Lerma until at least the international break, which starts on 11 November, because of a hamstring issue.
Glasner added: “Many managers are talking about the same issues, and especially when we look at our injured players – all who played a long tournament in the summer, having no holidays, having no pre-season and then many, many games.
“There is a moment when you have to pay the bill, and we had to pay it the last one, two, three weeks, but it is how it is and we are still a strong squad.”
