No fights had been announced for the March 3 show. UFC 209 on March 4 will be headlined by a rematch between Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson, the promotion announced on Monday.
This is the second previously announced 2017 event that was cancelled. UFC 208 had been set for Jan. 21 in Anaheim, California. The pay-per-view card was scrapped due to a lack of available fighters (champions) to headline the event. UFC 208 was moved to Feb. 11 in Brooklyn, New York and is headlined by an inaugural featherweight bout between Holly Holm and Germaine De Randamie.
