Tidigare idag avslöjade UFC-chefen Dana White att UFC-stjärnan Khamzat Chimaev inte kommer att tävla på UFC on ABC 6 nästa helg. Khamzat var egentligen tänkt att ta sig an den tidigare UFC-mästaren i mellanvikt Robert Whittaker i galans huvudmatch. Whittaker kommer istället att ta sig an UFC-talangen Ikram Aliskerov. Ryssen har endast förlorat en match i sin MMA-karriär, mot Khamzat Chimaev.
I galans delade huvudmatch kommer de topprankade tungviktarna Sergei Pavlovich och Alexander Volkov att drabba samman. Matchen mot Volkov kommer att bli Pavlovichs första match i den världsledande MMA-organisationen sedan förlusten mot Tom Aspinall förra året.
Khamzats inställda match har väckt starka reaktioner på sociala medier världen över. UFC-stjärnan har både kritiserats och hyllats, se reaktionerna från sociala medier nedan!

Pretty wild that Alex Pereira became everything that Khamzat Chimaev was predicted to be

People shitting on Khamzat, especially insulting him in his mentions/comments, take this whole being a UFC fan thing embarrassingly far. Go outside. Seems obvious he has persistent health issues, hope he can find a solution to be able to stay in this brutal sport. Unfortunate.

“Hey Dana, we know you’re working on that Conor situation. But just letting you know, Khamzat pulled out of his fight.”

I'll tell you something. Chechen Khamzat is destined to be defeated by my hands. Maktub, It's written, it's already written ✍️. There's nothing that can be done. 🤲🏻🙏
