Brian Ortega once again withdrew from a fight with Renato Moicano in 2026, this time due to a cut over his left eye, and will no longer rematch the Brazilian at UFC 331 on Sept. 19.
Ortega, who pulled out of UFC 326 back in March citing injuries, posted photos and video of the cut that forced him out of the Los Angeles event this weekend.
“This one hurts,” Ortega wrote on social media. “I have to pull out of the fight because of the stitches in my eye. I’m on weight, I’ve been training my ass off, and this has honestly been one of the best camps I’ve ever had. I was really looking forward to fighting at home in Los Angeles in front of my family
