One of Europe’s most talented flyweight prospects is all set for his UFC debut. Aleksander Doskalchuk has been forced out of the UFC’s July 18 event due to undisclosed reasons and Amir Albazi (12-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will step in and face Malcolm Gordon (12-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. A person with knowledge of the booking confirmed the news to MMA Junkie on Friday after Albazi posted about the fight on his Instagram page. The UFC subsequently made the new booking official. London Shootfighters’ Albazi has competed all across Europe and the Middle East. After notching back-to-back wins over Jamie Powell and Iuri Bejenari in Bellator, Albazi suffered his first career loss to ex-UFC flyweight Jose Torres at BRAVE CF 23 in April 2019

“Fight Island” is real, and now the four cards that will take place there are real, as well.

A pair of flyweights are set to make their UFC debut on July 15. Tagir Ulanbekov (11-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will face Aleksander Doskalchuk (10-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi – also known as “Fight Island.” Two people with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the booking Wednesday but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Ulanbekov, a training partner of UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, has won three in a row, including back-to-back finishes. The former Gorilla Fighting Championship and Fight Nights Global flyweight champion has only one blemish in his career to fellow recently signed 125-pounder Zhalgas Zhumagulov
