Wellington Turman hospitalized, out of UFC Fight Night vs. Aliaskhab Khizriev on Feb. 6
Wellington Turman won’t be fighting Feb. 6.
On Saturday, Turman (16-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) confirmed he’s withdrawn from his scheduled UFC Fight Night bout vs. Aliaskhab Khizriev as he deals with pneumonia.
According to an initial report from Combate, which Turman later confirmed, Turman was hospitalized Wednesday and diagnosed with “atypical pneumonia frame (lung infection caused by microorganisms less common than normal pneumonia).” The report added that Turman is still hospitalized but is resting in stable condition.
Turman, 24, issued the following statement Saturday on Instagram (translated from Portuguese).
“Unfortunately, I won’t be able to fight on February 6th. I got pneumonia and I won’t have time to recover and get well (for) the fight. I am very upset about this. I wanted to fight again soon, but there are things that are out of our command and health always comes first. Thanks to everyone who is with me. I will recover and come back as soon as possible.”

- Frankie Edgar vs. Cory Sandhagen
