What came out as a developing story from Aaron Bronsteter has now turned into breaking news, as there is belief that Michelle Waterson will not be fighting Joanna Jedrzejczyk this weekend in the main event of UFC Fight Night 161.

Some breaking news from @raphamarinho of Combate this morning, who reports that Joanna Jędrzejczyk has informed the UFC that she will be unable to make 115 for this weekend's main event



Waterson is refusing a catchweight and has also refused facing Dern or Ribas per Marinho

Jedrzejczyk informed the UFC that she wasn’t able to make weight, so the UFC offered Mackenzie Dern or Amanda Ribas to Waterson at catchweight. After Waterson refused, Jedrzejczyk may have a new opponent before Saturday night.

It is believed that Angela Hill could fight Jedrzejczyk, and that Waterson will be moved to the UFC 244 card.
