Ottman Azaitar, a man whom many saw as a future lightweight contender was brutally cut from the UFC in 2020.

The cut came as a result of Azaitar blatantly breaking Fight Island’s Covid protocol rules.

Azaitar and his team supposedly cut off their wristbands that allowed access to the the fighter hotel, and gave them to friends on the outside. These friends then snuck into the hotel and dropped off a bag with Azaitar’s team. UFC president Dana White immediately had Azaitar’s UFC contract terminated.

However, it appears that Dana has since had a change of heart. MMA Fighting have revealed that Azaitar’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, has confirmed his clients resigning. In a brief statement, he stated that he is “grateful to the UFC” for reinstating Azaitar (via MMA Fighting). This comes shortly after Azaitar posted a picture on Twitter with the caption “Patience reveals truth.”

Azaitar is an undefeated fighter with an 8-0 record. Since joining the UFC he has picked up two first round KO’s, over Teemu Packalen and Khama Worthy. Prior to the incident on Fight Island, he was scheduled to face Matt Frevola.

Ottman Azaitar Released by UFC For Violating Safety Protocols

Ottman Azaitar is not only off of tomorrow night’s UFC 257 card, he has also been cut from the promotion altogether. Earlier today during the UFC 257 weigh-ins, it was revealed that Ottman Azaitar failed to weigh in. As a result, his bout against Matt …

Ottman Azaitar Cut From The UFC After Sneaking People Into UFC 257 Bubble

Talented lightweight striker, Ottman ‘Bulldozer’ Azaitar’s brief time under the UFC’s banner is over already it seems. Scheduled to match with Matt ‘The Steamrolla’ Frevola in the featured preliminary slot of UFC 257 this weekend in Abu Dhabi, UAE — the Moroccan born striker has been removed from the bout due to a violation of […]

Talented lightweight striker, Ottman ‘Bulldozer’ Azaitar’s brief time under the UFC’s banner is over already it seems.

Scheduled to match with Matt ‘The Steamrolla’ Frevola in the featured preliminary slot of UFC 257 this weekend in Abu Dhabi, UAE — the Moroccan born striker has been removed from the bout due to a violation of the health and safety protocols brought in by the UFC and has subsequently been handed his walking papers.

A two-fight Octagon veteran, the undefeated knockout-artist held a 2-0 record under the UFC’s scrutiny, taking knockout wins over both Teemu Packalan, as well as a UFC Vegas 10 stoppage over the highly-touted, Khama ‘Deathstar’ Worthy in September.
Removed from his pairing with Frevola, uber-prospect, Arman Tsrukyan draws the former after he saw his matchup with Nasrat Haqparast cancelled as the latter deals with an illness.

Confirming with MMA Junkie reporter, Farah Hannoun that Azaitar had been released from his UFC contract, UFC president, Dana White spoke with BT Sports reporter, Adam Catterall and detailed how Azaitar had broken the health and safety protocols, in rather bizarre fashion it has to be said — resulting in his release.

“It’s pretty amazing actually,” White responded when asked how Azaitar could’ve possibly violated the health and safety protocols whilst inside the UFC 257 bubble. “So he (Ottman Azaitar) and his team cut off their wristbands, gave them to somebody else outside the bubble — I don’t even know how they even did it. That guy taped them (the wristbands), showed up here with a bag. Went into a room, shimmied across four balconies, went in his room, dropped the bag off, changed his clothes and then left.“

“Now, when security tried to stop him, he wouldn’t stop either way,” White said. “Yeah, it’s just bad. He’s (Azaitar) gone, he’s no longer a UFC fighter. And he’s not fighting tonight.“

Whilst Azaitar has been removed from proceedings tomorrow at the Etihad Arena as well as seeing his contract terminated, Frevola and Tsarukyan square off against each other, in the hope of extending their respective winning runs to three-straight fights.

Taking decision wins in his last two, Frevola overcame both Jalin Turner and Luis Pena, while the highly-touted, Tsarukyan bested both Olivier Aubin-Mercier and Davi Ramos.
