That was fast.
Just a couple of days after announcing the ADXC main event between former UFC flyweight contender Muhammad Mokaev and up-and-coming bantamweight sensation Raul Rosas Jr., the promotion was forced to scrap the Oct. 25 bout due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
Mokaev claims UFC gave “El Niño Problema” the hook — but allowed other UFC fighters to remain on the card.
“I have a lot of respect towards Raul Rosas Jr.,” Mokaev wrote on Twitter. “Unfortunately, UFC didn’t let him to compete. I wish you all the best, bro!”
Fans on social media suggested UFC is still punishing Mokaev for this.
Today’s announcement marks the second time ADXC was forced to cancel its grappling main event, having previously scratched the headlining showdown between UFC bantamweight sensation Umar Nurmagomedov and former Bellator MMA champion Eduardo Dantas.
“The show must go on,” ADXC wrote, before teasing a new main event in the coming days.
