According to the report from Marcel Dorff<\/a>, Miles Johns will no longer fight Muin Gafurov this Saturday after Gafurov withdrew from their bout. However, Johns has been rebooked to meet Daniel Marcos on November 8 after Felipe Lima also pulled out of a matchup with Marcos that was set for UFC Qatar. <\/p>\n A contract winner on Dana White\u2019s Contender Series<\/a> in 2019, Johns initially alternated wins and losses during his first few UFC fights before a unanimous decision over Dan Argueta in 2023 looked to have given \u201cChapo\u201d his first back-to-back victories in the Octagon. <\/p>\n READ MORE: Heavyweight star reveals nasty injury after extending insane UFC record at UFC 321<\/a><\/p>\n The Argueta result was later changed to a No Contest when Johns tested positive for elevated levels of turinabol.
