Jan Blachowicz and Aleksandar Rakiu0107 are no longer headlining UFC Columbus.
MMA Kultura on Instagram reported that the former UFC light heavyweight kingpin was forced to withdraw from the upcoming event after suffering an undisclosed injury during training. The report was then confirmed by Ariel Helwani, who revealed the plan is to reschedule the fight for another date.
The Polish star has since addressed his injury, explaining that it is around the neck area and needs to be fixed immediately.
“Unfortunately I will not fight March 26th at [UFC Columbus],” wrote Blachowicz on Twitter.
