According to MMAFighting.com...Also I wonder if by "fell ill" means he wasn't able to make weight before the weigh ins.
Barao felt dizzy when leaving the tub in his hotel room and hit his head against the wall. The bantamweight passed out and was rushed to the hospital.
Joe Soto*(15-2), who was set to take on Anthony Birchak*on the preliminary portion of the card, will now take on Dillashaw for the bantamweight title. Combate and ESPN reported the news.
