Two weeks before returning to the octagon, Russian middleweight Rinat Fakhretdinov was left without an opponent, as Ecuadorian Michael Morales, whom Gladiator was supposed to face on December 17 at UFC Fight Night 216 in Las Vegas, broke his toe and dropped out of the event .
It is not yet known whether the Russian will get a new opponent, or leave the tournament card after an injured opponent.
31-year-old Rinat Fakhretdinov made a successful debut in the UFC in June, defeating Andreas Mikhailidis by unanimous decision in three rounds.
Recall that the main event of the final event of the strongest league in the world this year will be a middleweight fight between Jared Cannonier and Sean Strickland.
