Ahmad Hassanzada, a prospect UFC lightweight and former Dana White's Contender Series winner, has been arrested on multiple felony charges related to alleged sexual acts involving minors. Just a week before his scheduled UFC debut in Kansas City, the 28-year-old fighter was taken into custody in Sacramento, California. The arrest has not only led to the cancellation of his fight but also resulted in his removal from the UFC roster altogether. Hassanzada is facing serious legal consequences, with bail set at $400,000 and a court date scheduled for April 22, 2025.
