With Cory McKenna out, Hannah Goldy will step in and lock horns with Emily Whitmire at UFC Fight Night 192.

The new bout was initially reported by David Van Auken. The matchup, which was originally scheduled for strawweight, will now be contested at 125 pounds. UFC Fight Night 192 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Sept. 18 and features a light heavyweight duel between Anthony Smith and Ryan Spann.

“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm speculation about my scheduled fight on Sept. 18,” McKenna wote on Instagram. “I have been dealing with some health issues over the past 5-6 weeks that have not allowed me to train at a standard required to compete/at all and I have to prioritise health. I want to thank the [UFC Performance Institute] for all their continued help, as well as my sponsors and team for their constant support; I hope to return to the octagon soon. Just another bump in the road.”

After appearing on Season 3 of Dana White’s Contender Series, Goldy has dropped back-to-back decisions against Miranda Granger and Diana Belbita in her first two UFC appearances.

Whitemire, meanwhile, is 2-3 within the Las Vegas-based promotion and is coming off consecutive submission defeats at the hands of Amanda Ribas and Polyana Viana.
