Hayder Hassan’s post UFC debut will have to be put on hold as the it was announced on Monday that Hassan had to be pulled from the fight due to an undisclosed injury. While Hassan was looking forward to fighting on the same card as his brother and showing his full potential, it will have to be another man’s opportunity to impress.
