Gökhan Saki skulle ha gått sin andra UFC-match mot Khalil Rountree under UFC 219 men tidigare i veckan kunde MMAnytt rapportera att K1-stjärnan blivit borttagen från nyårsgalan. Vad som hade hänt var dock oklart, fram till nu.

Är 1-1 i sin MMA-karriär
Den talangfulla kickboxaren samlade ihop 83 vinster och en rad av imponerande titlar innan han skrev kontrakt med UFC och gjorde sin debut i september genom att knocka Henrique da Silva i första ronden.
Nu kan han avslöja att han skadade sig under träningen och att han siktar på en retur under 2018:
“As has been announced everywhere, i’m not fighting on the UFC 219 card. I wanted to announce this myself but i needed some time to recover mentally from this bad news. I got injured during a training and went to the hospital for this. My team and management took the decision with the medical team that i needed treatment and i have to think of my health first. I didn’t want to accept this but i’m glad i have the right people around me. It felt like i let my fans and supporters down, i was really looking forward to this fight. So the bad news was a bitter pil to swallow. But this is top sports and injuries are unfortunately a part of it. I’m recovering now and will be back in training soon. I want to thank my opponent Khalil for preparing for me and i wish him best of luck on December 30th. I want to thank all my fans/supporters for their great messages and i promise you 2018 i will give you KNOCK-OUTS! One knee, no knee, i will be there violently!!!!”
Vem vill du se Saki möta i sin retur?
