Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 18 lineup has lost one of the bouts scheduled for its main card, as Amir Albazi vs. Zhalgas Zhumagulov has been removed from the lineup.
A passport issue has prevented Zhumagulov (13-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) from facing Albazi (13-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) in a flyweight bout at the upcoming event, which takes place at UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The bout is expected to be postponed to a later date.

That means Albazi will have to wait a bit longer to make his second octagon appearance after his debut at UFC Fight Night 172 in July, where he won by first-round submission.
The latest UFC on ESPN 18 lineup now includes:
MAIN CARD (ESPN2/ESPN+, 10 p.m. ET)
