No longer fighting Bekoev
Belgaroui will no longer face Azamat Bekoev in a middleweight bout at UFC Vegas 108 on August 2, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Belgaroui reportedly has an issue with his work visa, which is why his short-notice fight against Bekoev can no longer proceed as scheduled. However, he's still signed with the UFC, reportedly to a four-fight deal.

Set for short-notice debut
Belgaroui will make his short-notice UFC debut against Azamat Bekoev in a middleweight matchup at UFC Vegas 108 on August 2, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
We last saw Belgaroui on the Contender Series in September of 2024, where he picked up a third-round stoppage victory over Taiga Iwasaka but wasn't awarded a contract. He was later critiqued for committing multiple eye pokes in the fight, which likely explained why he wasn't offered the UFC roster spot. Now, he'll have to prove himself the hard way, getting just two weeks' notice for a dangerous American Top Team product who already has two first-round stoppages in 2025.
