Javid Basharat Gets Replacement Opponent For UFC Vegas 113 On 2 Days Notice
New opponent, no problem.
UFC Vegas 113
UFC Vegas 113 is set for this Saturday, February 7 at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. This marks UFC’s first fight night event of 2026 and the first event in the revamped UFC Apex, now named the Meta Apex. On this card, Javid Basharat was set to take on Said Nurmagomedov, but that bout has now been cancelled.
Nurmagomedov has pulled out with an apparent injury, which is unclear exactly what at this time. But, luckily for Basharat, a replacement opponent has stepped in on very short notice. UNF Flyweight Champion Gianni Vazquez has signed with the UFC and he will be stepping in to take on Basharat this Saturday, as first reported by Club De Las MMA.
Ya está confirmado!! Said Nurmagomedov es baja y entra Gianni Vazquez en su reemplazo según me informan las fuentes!! #UFCVegas113
This is Said’s fifth cancelled bout since 2023. He’s currently coming off of back-to-back losses.
UFC Vegas 113 is this Saturday on Paramount+ with the prelims kicking off at 5PM ET, followed by the main card at 8PM ET.
