"It was an interesting situation as we had to look for a replacement in the main fight of the tournament in Saudi Arabia, which will take place as early as next week. But we managed to find a replacement in the person of Ikram Aliskerov, who has a 15-1 record and who last lost to Hamzat Chimaev. Everyone in the division refused to fight him, except Robert Whittaker. I am very pleased with the replacement in the person of Ikram," - quotes the UFC president Sports Business Journal.
Recall, the fight Whittaker with Aliskerov will be held on June 22 in Saudi Arabia.
