It's not like this is a big card like UFC 200...it's a fight night in the Philippines. The card still has Alvey/Nicholson Ham/Taylor, Miller/Hirota and Moontasri/Morono...should have just kept the card.
At the very least, they're compensating the fighters and re-booking them. I just hope some of the match-ups remain the same...I was looking forward to Alvey smashing Nicholson and the return of The Black Beast.
The RDA vs. Ferguson and Kim vs. Nelson fight nights all could use another two fights at least, and Bader vs. Nogueira could squeeze in one more.

As first reported by @TalkMMA, the Philippines government essentially forced this card cancelation with crazy drug testing issues.
Jeremy Botter @jeremybotter 4 hThe government was going to drug test ALL UFC folks - not just fighters, but staff/production/etc.
Duterte is no joke.

It's a good call, imo. Just too much potential post-event paperwork and lawyer fees. The UFC like to spend, put on a show, collect the cash and onto the next. When you're bringing in tens to hundreds of employees that are legally under your responsibility, you don't want to be held accountable for each and every one of them to that extent.

But as mentioned the cancellation wasn't just BJ Penn's injury. It is more so Rodrido Dutere, the Filipino President and his ways. This has been an ongoing issue since July that I know of. With that said, wonder why they proceeded to try an event there with this being an ongoing issue?
