Muslim Salikhov withdraws from UFC Macau bout with Jake Matthews

Muslim Salikhov has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled bout against Jake Matthews at UFC Macau due to an upcoming elbow surgery. The fight cancellation was reported by insider KevinK. Salikhov's injury requires surgical intervention, forcing him out of the matchup. Matthews will now need a new opponent for the event, or the bout may be rescheduled. The UFC has not yet announced a replacement or alternative plans for either fighter. This marks another setback for the UFC Macau card.
