“New co-main event alert,” UFC posted on their official X account. “Shara Magomedov vs. Michal Olekziejczuk is coming to #UFCAbuDhabi”
Replacing a cancelled showdown between perennial contender, Luque and the above-mentioned former WEC and Strikeforce champion, Diaz, the welterweight clash was thrown out amid reported “travel issues” according to a statement from the promotion. Currently, plans are in place for Luque to take on Diaz in a rescheduled fight sometime later this year.
Touted as one of the biggest prospects in the sport right now, Dagestan native, Magomedov boasts an unbeaten 13-0 professional record, and has scored eleven separate victories by way of knockout during his mixed martial arts career.
