The One FC fighter was on the card to fight in front of his home crowd at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on October 6th, but he dislocated a finger during training over the weekend and this has ruled him out of the contest.
"Unfortunately, there was a minor accident in training," Rahman told ESPNSTAR.com.
"When you train really hard and give one hundred percent you never know what is going to happen next. There's always a risk of injury and it happened to me [this time]."
The 25-year-old shot to prominence in Singapore's MMA scene in September 2011 after an impressive debut against India's Susovan Ghosh. The match ended in just over three minutes with Rahman knocking out his opponent.
Last month, One FC announced that the Singaporean would be part of their Rise of Kings event supporting the headliners which includes the Lightweight Super Fight between Shinya "Tobikan Judan" Aoki and (MMA) Champion Arnaud "The Game" Lepont.
