The April 17 UFC Fight Night card is going to need a new main event because a report from AG Fight states that Paulo Costa is severely ill and has been pulled from the headlining bout against former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker.

Whittaker is expected to be removed from the card as well, with reports stating that the bout with Costa could be rescheduled for one of the events in May.

Remaining bouts set for the April 17 UFC card include Bartosz Fabinski vs. Gerald Meerschaert, Parker Porter vs. Chase Sherman, Tracy Cortez vs. Justine Kish, Tony Gravely vs. Nate Maness, Austin Hubbard vs. Natan Levy and Drakkar Klose vs. Jeremy Stephens.
