Ottman Azaitar has seen his time with the UFC come to an abrupt end. The UFC lightweight was set to compete at UFC 257 this weekend against Matt Frevola, but a series of missteps now leaves him with no opponent and promotion.
Azaitar was initially scrapped from the event after failing to weigh-in. Shortly after it was announced that he would no longer be competing on Saturday night, the UFC put out a statement regarding his removal for what was said to be a “recent violation of the health and safety protocols” in the safety zone.
