Looking to get in the win column in the UFC for the first time, Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto will have to wait a while longer.
The Japanese legend made his UFC debut in February, losing a unanimous decision against Demetrious Johnson in a fight “Mighty Mouse” dominated with takedowns. Yamamoto was expected to face Chris Cariaso at UFC 130 next month, but the UFC reported Wednesday an injury has forced him off the card.
Stepping in to fight Cariaso in the bantamweight bout will be Michael McDonald on less than five weeks notice. The fight is expected to take place as part of UFC 130’s preliminary card.
