One of the participants in the main fight of the UFC Baku Fight Night competition, the US representative Jamal Hill, refused to come to Azerbaijan.

Offsideplus.az reports that the athlete was supposed to visit our capital today at noon.

The arrival of J. Hill and his team was planned on a Doha-Baku flight.

According to the flight map, the plane was supposed to pass over Israel and Iran.

However, considering that Israel carried out air strikes on Iranian territory tonight, J. Hill refused to board the plane at the last moment.

As a result, the Doha-Baku flight did not pass over Israel and Iran, and the plane arrived at Heydar Aliyev International Airport in 5.5 hours instead of 3 hours.

There were 2 members of J. Hill's team and 5-6 other passengers on the plane.

It is unknown when the US athlete will arrive in Baku.

In addition, Rafael Fiziyev, who is scheduled to arrive in our country tomorrow, is also scheduled to fly on a Doha-Baku flight. The details of his trip are also being clarified.
