Michał Oleksiejczuk has been forced to decline a fight offer for UFC 332 after an upcoming surgery left him unable to compete on the October 3 card. Oleksiejczuk confirmed the medical procedure made it impossible for him to accept the bout against Donte Johnson.
Johnson, the 27-year-old southpaw, now finds himself without an opponent for UFC 332 after the matchup fell through. The unbeaten prospect carries a perfect 9-0-0 record and stands five-foot-eight with a 74-inch reach. He lands 3.36 significant strikes per minute at a 46 percent accuracy rate, and adds 1.87 takedowns per 15 minutes to give him a well-rounded offensive profile.
Oleksiejczuk's situation leaves Johnson in need of a replacement opponent ahead of the event. No alternative matchup has been announced.
Why it matters
- Johnson's unbeaten record and rising profile make finding a quality replacement a priority for the UFC matchmaking team
- The late scratch less than six weeks from the event narrows the pool of available opponents willing and ready to step in
- Oleksiejczuk's surgery timeline raises questions about when the Polish fighter will be cleared to return to competition
