Khamzat Chimaev gave his first reaction to his withdrawal from UFC on ABC 6.
Chimaev (13-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) was forced out of Saturday’s headliner vs. Robert Whittaker (25-7 MMA, 16-5 UFC) at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia due to illness. Replacing him will be rising middleweight contender Ikram Aliskerov (15-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC).
