Manager Alexander Skaredin stated in an interview with Telecomasia.net that Nikita Krylov will not compete in the upcoming UFC Fight Night 248 event in Macau. However, the organization is actively searching for an opponent for him to participate in the final events of the year, which will be held in Nevada and Las Vegas.
Krylov won’t be fighting at the upcoming event. There aren’t any suitable opponents. We have strongly requested the UFC to arrange a fight for him before the year ends. After Macau, there are two events in the U.S. where we could participate. We are currently waiting for news from the UFC. They are trying to find an opponent.
