Fazil alleged last week that he was confronted by a group of Chechens while preparing for his Dana White’s Contender Series bout with Kaik Brito. According to Fazil, the incident interrupted his weight cut and escalated into a physical altercation that eventually drew police attention. The Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO has now addressed the incident.

White acknowledges the promotion addressed an incident Fazil says became physical during Contender Series fight week
White was asked about the incident at the UFC Sacramento post-fight press conference and acknowledged that the promotion is aware of what happened.
“You guys have no idea how much sh*t goes on in this business behind the scenes and I said at the press conference that we had kind of a weird week here,” White said.
White was also asked whether UFC fighter Baisangur Susurkaev would face any consequences after the latter hinted at his involvement in the incident.
“I didn’t even talk about it,” White added. “You guys wouldn’t even know if he didn’t talk about it. We handled it behind the scenes and that’s the business we’re in. Lots of crazy sh*t happens every day in this business.”
Fazil went on to lose via knockout, which was later celebrated online by several fighters, including former UFC champ Khamzat Chimaev.
