Alvin Hines has withdrawn from his scheduled fight with Gabriel Lorenco at UFC Vegas 124 on November 7, citing a medical issue. With Hines out, the bout has been removed from the card.
Hines, a 34-year-old orthodox fighter nicknamed "Goozie," enters this stretch of his career with a record of 7-2-0. He stands six-foot-two and carries a 74-inch reach, giving him a notable frame for a fight that now will not take place as planned. His striking output is a clear part of his profile: he lands 5.58 significant strikes per minute, though he connects at 32 percent accuracy, a figure that points to a high-volume approach over a precision-first one.
His grappling numbers are modest. Hines averages 0.9 takedowns per 15 minutes and has not attempted a submission, which reinforces a game built largely on standing exchanges.
Lorenco, his scheduled opponent, now has no fight on the November 7 card after Hines pulled out. The nature and severity of Hines' medical issue have not been detailed, and no timeline for a return has been given.
Why it matters
- The Hines-Lorenco matchup is off the UFC Vegas 124 card entirely, leaving a hole on the November 7 lineup.
- Lorenco is left without an opponent for the event unless a replacement is found.
- Hines' 7-2-0 record means a layoff could interrupt momentum at a point when he is 34.
Withdrawals tied to medical issues are a routine part of fight-card building, and cards are often reshuffled in the weeks that follow. No replacement opponent for Lorenco has been reported.
