Will face new opponent
Barnett won't face Waldo Cortes-Acosta at UFC Vegas 98 on Oct. 12, and he'll face Junior Tafa instead, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
This change means Barnett will have roughly two weeks to prepare for a new opponent, as the fight against Cortes-Acosta had been scheduled since early August. Regardless of the opponent, Barnett is simply looking to step into an octagon at some point in the current year, as he's yet to fight in 2024 and has withdrawn from his previous two bouts. Barnett currently holds a 2-2 record at the UFC level.
