Gokhan Saki will not be making his second Octagon foray at UFC 219.
The former Glory and K-1 kickboxing world champion has withdrawn from a scheduled light heavyweight clash with Khalil Rountree for undisclosed reasons. As a result, the promotion has confirmed that Rountree will remain on the card against Michal Oleksiejczuk.
UFC 219 takes place on Dec. 30 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and features a women’s featherweight title bout pitting reigning champion Cristiane Justino against Holly Holm. The evening’s main card is available on pay-per-view, with prelims likely airing on Fox Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
