Sam Sicilia needs a new opponent for next month’s UFC Fight Night 71 event in California.

Doo Ho Choi (12-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) has been forced off the card for undisclosed reasons, and Sicilia (14-5 MMA, 4-4 UFC) now awaits a new featherweight opponent, UFC officials told MMAjunkie.

UFC Fight Night 71 takes place July 15 at Valley View Casino Center in San Diego. After a preliminary card on UFC Fight Pass, the rest of the prelims and the main card air on FOX Sports 1.

Sicilia vs. Choi was slated for the featured prelim slot.

Choi, a 24-year-old Korean and longtime DEEP fighter, made his UFC debut in November and scored an 18-second TKO victory over Juan Puig, which pushed his overall winning streak to 10 fights.

Sicilia, who joined the UFC after a stint on “The Ultimate Fighter 15,” has alternated wins and losses over his past six fights. The 29-year-old looks to build off his January knockout win over Akira Corassani.
