UFC on ABC 6 has taken yet another hit with less than a week to
go before fight night.

Melsik
Baghdasaryan announced via Instagram Stories that he is out of
his featherweight matchup against Muhammadjon
Naimov due to a torn labrum in his left shoulder. UFC on ABC 6
takes place on Saturday at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
It is currently unknown if Naimov will remain on the card against a
replacement opponent.

“Hello everyone, I have bad news,” Baghdasaryan said. “My fight got
canceled. I got injured, torn labrum on my left shoulder. Thanks
everyone for support. I’ll be back as soon as possible.”

This is the latest in a series of last-minute blows for the UFC
Saudi Arabia card, starting with Ikram
Aliskerov replacing Khamzat
Chimaev in the main event against Robert
Whittaker on 9 days’ notice. Sedriques
Dumas will also replace Abu Azaitar
on short notice in a middleweight booking against Denis
Tiuliulin. Meanwhile, a bantamweight matchup between Farid
Basharat and Montel
Jackson fell through due to Basharat pulling out.

Baghdasaryan last fought Tucker Lutz
in July 2023, earning a unanimous decision win to bounce back from
his first UFC loss against Joshua
Culibao. Baghdasaryan was then scheduled to face France’s
William
Gomis at a UFC Fight Night event in February before Gomis
pulled out. Baghdasaryan was rebooked a week later against
undefeated debutant Hyder Amil,
but “The Gun” was forced out due to an injury.
