FORTALEZA, Brazil – A morning car accident while driving Ronny Markes to a location to cut weight is to blame for the fighter being out of Saturday’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 event, manager Andre Pederneiras said. Markes (14-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) was scheduled to face Derek Brunson (10-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) on the preliminary card of the event, which takes place at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil.

Pederneiras said in an email message that he was driving the vehicle when the accident occurred. “We were in the process of cutting weight with Ronny since 6 a.m.,” Pederneiras said.
