Scrambling to save this weekend’s UFC 294 card in the Middle East, prior to booking an official middleweight title-eliminator between Khamzat Chimaev, and Kamaru Usman, the promotion is said to have floated a championship fight between the undefeated, Chimaev, and incumbent divisional gold holder, Sean Strickland, ultimately to no avail.
Returning to Abu Dhabi, UAE this weekend – the promotion was forced to alter both originally scheduled co-headlining and headlining bouts for the flagship event, after Brazilian duo, Paulo Costa, and former lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira were forced from their respective clashes due to nasty injuries sustained ahead of the card.
As a result, the promotion have since booked a middleweight championship eliminator between former welterweight champion and prior pound-for-pound number one, Usman, and the above-mentioned Chechen-born finisher, Chimaev for the night’s co-headlining slot.

However, as per a report tonight from ESPN reporter, Marc Raimondi, prior to locking in a fight between Usman and Chimaev, recently-minted undisputed middleweight champion, Strickland was initially floated in a short-notice title defense against the former, having just featured at UFC 293 last month in Sydney, Australia.
Rejecting such a short-notice turnaround to defend his middleweight crown against Chimaev, Strickland was subsequently out of the picture to fight at UFC 294 in the Middle East – with the organization instead landing on a fight between Usman and Chimaev.
Atop tomorrow’s card at the Etihad Arena, undisputed lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev will take on undisputed featherweight champion and pound-for-pound leader, Alexander Volkanovski on just 11 days’ notice in a championship rematch, having initially clashed back in February in Perth, Australia.

Kamaru Usman reacts to rumours of a potential knee injury suffered while doing his open workout with Justin Gaethje.
Social media was in a frenzy when keen onlookers claimed that Usman said that ‘something popped’ during a grappling exchange at the media workout. ‘The Nightmare’ is set to take on Khamzat Chimaev tomorrow night at UFC 294, but at middleweight with the winner in line for a shot at Sean Strickland’s 185lb title.
Usman’s knee issues are long standing and well documented – something which he was rumoured to be having problems with in the trilogy match with Leon Edwards.
Taking to his YouTube channel, Usman strongly denied the rumours and labelled the story initially put out by Bloody Elbow as simply clickbait.
Whoever started it, whoever said they heard a result, how could you have possibly heard what I said when it’s me and Justin on a stage in front of thousands of people in a mall,” Usman said. “Were you next to us when you heard what I was saying? How stupid. Just dumb, and if my knee was hurt, why would I get up and [go on] hitting mitts? (H/T MMA Fighting)
“Oh my God, people believe anything you put on this internet. Anything. Any f****** thing. Whoever that was, stop it. Stop the clickbait, did not say that. Clearly I’m fine. Dummies.”
Usman also promised to put his knees to use against Chimaev – “I’m fine,” Usman said. “That’s how rumors start — somebody posts something, everyone starts jumping on it, and then all of the doctors start jumping on it. The knees are fine, and they’ll be put to use this Saturday.”
Usman took the fight against Chimaev on just over 10 days notice, making up for a last minute Paulo Costa withdrawal.
Do you think that Kamaru Usman’s knees will cause him issues?
