Ahmad Hassanzada, a mixed martial arts fighter, has been charged with child sex crimes just days before his scheduled UFC debut. The 28-year-old turned himself in to authorities for two felony charges involving lewd acts with minors. Police confirmed the charges originated from a probe initiated early last year, though they have not provided specific details due to the sensitive nature of the case. With his bail set at $400,000, Hassanzada's official UFC debut has been removed from the upcoming fight card, despite previously winning Dana White's Contender Series.
His debut is listed as April 26, 2025 on UFC's official website - but he does not appear on Saturday's fight card.
Ahmad Hassanzada was scheduled to make his official debut in the Octagon this coming Saturday as the winner of Dana White's Contender series in September.
