This October when UFC Abu Dhabi is due to take place, the event hits a significant hitch to fully actualize its intentions. As Islam Makhachev said, the leader of the weight division is suffering from a partial tear of the arm. This injury could potentially cancel out his bout against Arman Tsarukyan a fight that could disrupt Dana White’s big plans for UFC 308.
Makhachev Injury Challenge
I remembered Islam Makhachev recently had an interview with Ushatayka, and he exposed his injury. Dana White and the UFC need to have their heads examined for scheduling the lightweight champion, who recently defeated Dustin Poirier in UFC 302, this kind of a path to victory. A bout of Makhachev with Poirier was impressive, breaking the record of his coach Khabib Nurmagomedov. Although the two were very successful, they had their consequences. Unfortunately, Makhachev has a partial tear in his arm and complains about the pain.
“For a few days, my elbow was sore after the fight,” he said,” There was a partial tear; an MRI confirmed the diagnosis. He went on further and said, “I train every day in the rehab, but I may require surgery. I want to fight before the year ends, but as to whether l will be fit to fight on October is still in doubt. ” Because of Makhachev’s injury many fans and officials are questioning if he will even be able to participant in UFC 308 and defend his newly won title.
Tsarukyan Training Program
Hence, the plot still remains open, and Arman Tsarukyan prepares for the fight which may face him with Makhachev. With Tsarukyan winning by spectacular TKO in his recent game against Charles Oliveira at UFC 300, the latter should up his training. He went to Khamzat Chimaev for help because he thought that fighting and building with Chimaev could be useful.
Tsarukyan revealed his strategy in an interview: “Of course, if Khamzat is available and willing to spar with me it will be good, he also has Makhachev’s build and fighting with him will help to get some good sparring.”
Nevertheless, the key figure of the bloc, Tsarukyan, also has his problems. He has been given a ban of six-nine months for his actions at UFC 300 and their match can be moved to next year.

Everyone at Dana White and his team wanted to have a great UFC 308 event in Abu Dhabi. It presents a major hindrance in the factor relating to the health of Makhachev. This can cause a shift in the brackets and this may affect the expectations of the fans if Makhachev will not be able to make it to the cage due to injury.
The desire of Makhachev to regain the form remains unchanged, but the chances of surgery and stencils mean that the UFC may need to prepare for an emergency The condition complicates something unpredictable about UFC 308, which was to demonstrate some of the best MMA fighters.
