The phrase “last-minute fight fallout” is thrown around a lot when bouts are canceled near fight night, but it was literal at UFC on ESPN+ 31. Just moments before the main-card opener at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday night was scheduled to go down, Trevin Giles fainted before making his walk to the octagon.

Giles (12-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) was shown on the broadcast sitting on his own power.
