The UFC is yet to make an announcement on the withdrawal but it is believed that they are seeking a replacement for Mousasi, a former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion.
Brunson vs. Mousasi was expected to act as the featured Fight Pass prelim on the fight card, one of the most stacked in the history of all of MMA.
Brunson, who is riding a four-fight win streak in the UFC, was hoping to shoot up the rankings against eighth-ranked Mousasi but will have to miss out on the opportunity.
Mousasi last competed against Thales Leites in London, where he claimed the most unanimous of unanimous decision victories, and would like to get the chance to enter title contention before he hangs up his gloves so expect him to take advantage of a short-notice opponent switch-up.
