Marwan Rahiki vs. Harry Hardwick put on a memorable fight after two rounds before the UFC Fight Night 269 main card was canceled.
Rashiki (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) landed a barrage of punches over two rounds in a featherweight bout at Meta APEX in Las Vegas, while landing some of his own, keeping Hardwick (13-5-1 MMA, 0-2 UFC) from making it to the third round.

Hardwick told his team he suffered a broken jaw and could not continue. The fight was called off and Rashiki won by TKO after two rounds.
Even though it was his debut, Rashicky admitted he wasn’t thrilled with the way the show unfolded and wanted to end it on a more spectacular note.
“I wanted to win in the cleanest way possible,” Rashiki said in a post-fight interview with Michael Bisping. “But it was a broken jaw, but it was done. But I really wanted a big knockout.”
