Bo Nickal vs. Joe Pyfer Rescheduled for UFC Cleveland in 2027

The anticipated middleweight clash between Bo Nickal and Joe Pyfer, originally slated for UFC 335 on December 12, has been removed from that card. According to reports from MMA Mania, the matchup will no longer take place in December. Instead, the bout has been shifted to serve as the main event for the UFC's return to Cleveland, Ohio, scheduled for February 2027. The move eliminates the possibility of Nickal competing in both December and February, securing his presence as the focal point of the upcoming Cleveland event. This rescheduling marks a significant shift for the middleweight division, as the promotion opted to utilize the high-profile matchup to anchor the 2027 card rather than keeping it as part of the UFC 335 lineup. No further changes to the UFC 335 card were mentioned in relation to this move. For fantasy players, this change is significant as it removes a major prospect-versus-prospect clash from the December slate, forcing adjustments for those who had rostered either fighter for UFC 335.
