Report: Hakeem Dawodu injured, out of UFC 257 fight with Shane Burgos

UFC 257 goes down in two weeks. The first UFC pay-per-view of 2021 brings a rematch six years in the making between former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier and former featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor.

The card also brings former Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler’s Octagon debut. He fights Dan Hooker in the co-main event. But one fight that will not feature on UFC 257 is the previously scheduled featherweight bout between Hakeem Dawodu and Shane Burgos.

According to MMA Junkie’s Farah Hannoun Dawodu has suffered a shoulder injury and has been removed from the fight.
