Javid Basharat (14-1) is out of his UFC on ESPN 61 booking against Chris Gutierrez (20-6) due to an injury.
Basharat and Gutierrez were slated to trade leather in a bantamweight matchup at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas this weekend. However, Basharat revealed on social that he won’t be able to fight due an undisclosed injury.
“Sad to say I will not be fighting this weekend,” Basharat wrote on Instagram. “I picked up an injury too close to the fight and wouldn’t heal in time for the fight, so me and my team made a collective decision.
