"Unfortunately @ChaseShermanUFC had a medical issue and won’t be able to compete tonight. He tried is hardest to get in there but on the advice of the UFC medical staff they decided to hold him out and we respect that decision as his safety comes first #UFC287," he tweeted shortly after the news broke.
This isn't the first time that Sherman's fight has been canceled the day of the fight. At UFC Vegas 64 when his opponent Josh Parisian suffered a medical emergency. Prior to that Sherman pulled out of a fight the morning-of when he was scheduled to fight Alexandr Romanov at UFC Vegas 52.
At press time, Sherman has not commented publicly.
