Ahmad Hassanzada is no longer scheduled to make his Octagon debut next weekend at UFC Kansas City.
After scoring a third-round submission victory over Dylan Mantello on Dana White’s Contender Series in September, Hassanzada was scheduled to square off with Evan Elder when the UFC returns to the ‘City of Fountains’ on April 26. That is no longer the case after the 12-3 fighter was arrested on Friday afternoon on charges of alleged sexual assault against a minor.
Hassanzada’s arrest was confirmed via a police report obtained from the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department and an article by AG Fight.
