Next weekend’s UFC 295 card has taken another hit because Nurullo Aliev has suffered an injury and has been pulled from a bout against Mateusz Rebecki.
Aliev announced the news on Instagram:
Nolan King of MMA Junkie provided the following translation of what Aliev wrote on Instagram:
“Over the last few months due to some life circumstances, I have taken a break in my career. I haven’t stopped training hard though. I never looked for a comfortable opponent. When UFC offered me a worthy opponent, I gladly agreed. … I prepared particularly hard for this battle. Everything went according to plan, the best gyms, coaches and nutritionists. … Unfortunately, a couple of days ago, I injured my leg. After the examination, the doctor from UFC was banned and did not consent for the fight.”
There is no word at this time as to whether or not Rebecki will remain on the UFC 295 card.
