Gokhan Saki seems to have a very real reason why he can’t fight next month. A training injury landed him in the hospital, Saki wrote Wednesday on Instagram.
On Tuesday, it was announced that Saki was out of his fight with Khalil Rountree at UFC 219 on Dec. 30 in Las Vegas. The former world champion kickboxer explained the situation in his social media post, complete with a picture of him in a hospital bed.
“I wanted to announce this myself but i needed some time to recover mentally from this bad news,” Saki wrote.
