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. But the accident left the 25-year-old Markes, fighting in his home country, with injuries – and a brief loss of consciousness – that ruled him out of the fight . 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.
