UFC CEO Dana White responded to a question about when undefeated middleweight Hamzat Chimaev could return to the octagon.

Chimaev was scheduled to fight Robert Whittaker at yesterday's UFC on ABC 6 event in Saudi Arabia, but pulled out due to health issues.

"When is Chimaev coming back? I have no idea. We'll see what happens next. We'll try to move his fight to the tournament in Abu Dhabi. Maybe he can perform there," White said at the press conference.
