A surefire slugfest between knockout artists Joaquin Buckley and Abdul Razak Alhassan is no longer happening at next week’s UFC Vegas 46 card.
MMA Junkie reported on Tuesday that Alhassan withdrew from the matchup for undisclosed reasons, and it looks like the plan is to reschedule instead of give Buckley a new opponent on short notice.
Alhassan (11-4) began his UFC career with a 4-1 record, with all of his wins coming by knockout. The Cameroonian would then lose a decision to Mounir Lazzez, suffer a KO versus Khaos Williams, and drop another decision to Jacob Malkoun.
