Bout scrapped
Pichel's matchup with Ismael Bonfim at UFC Sao Paulo on Saturday was canceled, Guilherme Cruz of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Both fighters came in heavy on the first weigh-in, though Pichel was able to cut down in his second attempt. It's a moot point though, as the two sides were apparently unable to come to a new fight agreement.
