Overview
- Multiple outlets confirmed late Monday that Ethyn Ewing withdrew from his bantamweight bout at UFC 329 because of an undisclosed injury.
- UFC officials are actively searching for a short-notice replacement to face undefeated Farid Basharat so he can remain on the T-Mobile Arena card.
- Ewing was a rising prospect on a 10-fight win streak with two UFC victories, and his exit halts momentum ahead of a high-visibility fight week spot.
- This is the card’s second recent change after Ode Osbourne was replaced by Alessandro Costa, underscoring how stacked International Fight Week events often require last-minute reshuffling.
- If no suitable replacement is found, Basharat could be pulled from the card or matched with a lower-ranked short-notice opponent, which would alter his exposure and the prelim lineup.
