Unfortunately, a wound to his forehead had skittish doctors unwilling to clear Tachidito for competition.So what happened?Doctor says its herpes, which hes wrong, but he didnt want to admit hes wrong and didnt clear him to fight, the younger Rosas wrote on social media. We know its just a mat burn but theres nothing we can do to change this doctors mind.Better safe than swollen.Replacing Rosas, who will no doubt return for another shot later this year, is Gianni Vazquez. Kriptonita previously fought for UFC in a one-and-done appearance at UFC Vegas 113 earlier this year. The Johns bout has been bumped up to featherweight to account for the short-notice call up on behalf of Vazquez.To see the rest of the UFC Vegas 120 lineup click here.
