Blaydes vs Lewis Canceled Is Another Huge Hit To A UFC Card

This is a huge loss for the UFC Vegas 15 card. If I had to guess I’d say the organization will move up Anthony Smith vs Devin Clark, but honestly that fight isn’t a big draw. Smith is on a 2 fight losing skid and Clark isn’t a big name in the UFC. Sure, if Clark gets the W it will give him some star power, but the rest of the card is not that stacked. Here is how the card looks without Lewis vs Blaydes…
