Kyle Daukaus vs. Aliaskhab Khizriev pulled from UFC Vegas 23
Kyle Daukaus Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC A middleweight bout between Kyle Daukaus and Aliaskhab Khizriev has been pulled from this weekend’s UFC Vegas 23 card.
UFC officials confirmed the news to MMA Fighting on Wednesday with the fight being pulled due to COVID-19 protocols.
The bout is expected to be rescheduled for a later date.
After suffering a loss in his octagon debut, Daukaus bounced back with a win over Dustin Stoltzfus in his second appearance in the UFC this past November. He was looking to build on that momentum with his fight on Saturday but now it appears he’ll have to wait until a later date to compete again.
