Shamil Abdurakhimov (OUT) vs. Jailton Almeida – UFC 280 (Oct. 22, Almeida now meets Maxim Grishin at UFC Vegas 64, Nov. 5)
I think Mustafaev still fighting Nishikawa, can't find anything else yet.
Mustafaev/Nishikawa is cancelled. As per Nishikawa's media personnel (Bruno Massami) ~ UPDATE: Yamato Nishikawa 's Statement: “Fight got canceled due to my opponent’s reason. Overseas media is making up a story. I absolutely do not lie because I believe in Bushido spirit!”
Not sure what the narrative is behind this, Mustafaev was scheduled to fight Jamie Mullarkey until Mullarkey pulled from the bout. Nishikawa was a short notice replacement with 3 weeks notice. Mustafaev has been a mystery the last 4 years, pulling out of bouts and having these weird non-fight scenarios. Too bad as Mutaefaev has a 100% finish rate and is fun to watch. Nishikawa has fought 26 times (19 years old) since Mustafaev's last 2 fights.
