UFC Executive Director Dana White commented on the withdrawal of Chechen middleweight Khamzat Chimaev from the UFC on ABC 6 tournament, which will be held June 22 in Saudi Arabia.
Dana White
Unfortunately, Khamzat Chimaev is out of the fight next weekend in Saudi Arabia. Violently, and I mean, violently ill. So, he's going back home, and hopefully, he gets well soon.
Recall, Chimaev was supposed to meet with Australian Robert Whittaker. He will be replaced by Russian fighter Ikram Aliskerov.
Chimaev, 30, last fought in October 2023 at UFC 294, defeating Kamaru Usman by majority decision. He has 13 wins and no losses on his record.
