Farid Basharat has a new opponent at UFC 329 this weekend.
John Garza will be replacing Ethyn Ewing in his UFC debut.
On Instagram, Ewing revealed that he has suffered an injury while training and has had to pull out of the fight.
I did sustain a detrimental injury about five weeks ago. It’s one that slowed the training. I was not able to spar hard. I had to work around it. I did everything I could to endure, and my mindset was always that I would go in there even if it was at 50 percent. Now, I have a great wise counsel around me, people who have my best interest in mind, and together we came to the conclusion that going in at 50 percent was not the smart decision and was not the right decision. There is no one who wanted to see me in that cage or to be in that cage more than myself. It was a hard decision. It really sucks. It’s not what I wanted by any means but I think that there is a reason for it, there is a lesson to be learned and I think the Lord has a greater plan.
Farid Basharat is currently 6–0 in the UFC and 15–0 as a professional MMA fighter.
