Ruslan Magomedov out with injury against Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC Fight Night 86

One of heavyweight's only prospects is going to be stuck on the shelf for awhile. Ruslan Magomedov announced Wednesday that he has been forced to withdraw from his UFC Fight Night 86 contest against Gabriel Gonzaga after suffering an apparent knee injury.

Magomedov (14-1) posted a photo of an x-ray on Twitter and wrote that he "can barely walk" due to the injury. UFC officials have yet to announce Magomedov's withdrawal or a replacement opponent for Gonzaga.

Sorry to all my fans & @gonzagabjj I tried my best but had to pull out bc I hurt my knee & can barely walk.
