Fight canceled
Vergara's previously scheduled fight against Azat Maksum has been canceled due to Maksum suffering an injury, per Nolan King of USA Today.
ANALYSIS
Maksum's injury will force him to drop out of their scheduled fight, and unfortunately for Vergara, it appears as if he will not face a replacement opponent and will be instead taken off the card. The 33-year-old American was looking to rebound off a decision loss to Asu Almabaev in his most recent fight in March, but will now have to wait for his next opportunity.

Scheduled against Maksum
Vergara is scheduled to compete against Azat Maksum in a flyweight fight at UFC Abu Dhabi on Aug. 3, per Nolan King of MMA Junkie.
ANALYSIS
After being dominated at UFC 299, Vergara will look to bounce back at UFC Abu Dhabi. The same can be said for Vergara's opponent, though he is 17-1 in pro competition compared to the former's 17-6.

Dominated after weight miss
Vergara lost to Asu Almabaev via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC 299 on Saturday in Miami.
ANALYSIS
As if the loss wasn't bad enough, Vergara had to forfeit 30 percent of his fight purse to Almabaev after missing weight by a pound Friday morning. The truth of the matter is that Vergara had zero chance of winning this bout, weight miss or not. He allowed nine takedowns on 14 attempts and spent 9:32 of the 15-minute contest being controlled by his opponent. C.J. managed no notable offense of his own. The 32-year-old Texan entered having won back-to-back fights, so his roster spot isn't in jeopardy, but Vergara needs to make sure he makes weight for his next fight.
