Good news and bad news,\u201d Sadykhov wrote on Instagram.<br \/>\n\u201cBad news is I won\u2019t be fighting in MSG. I suffered an injury on<br \/>\nthe first days of camp and have been dealing with them for over 5<br \/>\nweeks now. Initially, the plan was to work around it and go and<br \/>\nfight anyway. My opponent withdrew due to injury so myself and my<br \/>\nteam decided to let the UFC know to not find a replacement. Good<br \/>\nnews is I won\u2019t need any surgeries or prolonged recoveries. I will<br \/>\ndeal with this injury and jump back in as soon as possible. Thank<br \/>\nyou to all who are with me, see you all soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sadykhov (11-3-1) went unbeaten in his first five UFC appearances<br \/>\nbefore suffering back-to-back technical knockout losses.
