Injury Update

Almabayev withdraws from UFC Mexico City headliner

Quick read

Asu Almabayev pulled out of the UFC Mexico City main event against Brandon Moreno after suffering a hand injury. Sherdog reported that the withdrawal came a little more than three weeks before the scheduled fight, and that Almabayev confirmed the injury in an Instagram post. The setback matters because it removes a high-profile flyweight headliner and likely delays Almabayev’s chance to make a statement against a former UFC champion.
