Dropped by UFC

February 9, 2021
Askar was released by the UFC on Tuesday, Aaron Bronsteter of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
It's been a rather odd week for Askar. He stepped in on very short notice last Tuesday to accept a fight against Cody Stamann for his UFC debut but wound up failing to receive medical clearance. He's now been dropped by the promotion entirely without ever setting foot into the Octagon. He'll aim to re-sign with the UFC or elsewhere once he's healthy again.

Askar will not end up fighting Cody Stamann at UFC Vegas 18 on Saturday night after he was not medically cleared to compete ahead of the bout, Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Askar stepped in on short notice to fight Stamann after Andrew Ewell had to be pulled following a positive COVID-19 test. Now Askar is unable to fight so the UFC has decided to entirely pull the fight from Saturday's card. It would've been the 33-year-old's debut in the UFC as he'll now have to wait for another opportunity to arise sometime down the road.
Lined up for UFC debut

Askar will step in for Andrew Ewell to take on Cody Stamann at UFC Vegas 18 on Saturday, MMAJunkie.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Askar has a tough task ahead in his UFC debut, but he's not to be underestimated after compiling a 11-1-0 professional record. He last appeared under the banner of LFA but has seen action on several notable regional circuits as well. He'll enter with a big reach advantage over Stamann, but given it's his debut, it's not too surprising to see the 26-year-old pegged as approximately a (+230) betting underdog.
