Gokhan Saki injured, out of UFC 219 fight vs. Khalil Rountree

Fresh off a scintillating KO in his UFC debut, longtime kickboxing star Gokhan Saki was supposed to take on light heavyweight prospect Khalil Rountree at UFC 219, but that will not longer be happening.

In a statement released on his official Instagram page, Saki revealed that a training injury has forced him off the card.

As has been announced everywhere, I’m not fighting on the UFC 219 card. I wanted to announce this myself but I needed some time to recover mentally from this bad news.
