“Unfortunately, I had to do a new surgical procedure and I’m hospitalized, I will need another surgery on Friday.
On September 18th I had my first surgery to remove the bursa and clean the infection (staph), with the full support of the UFC here in Abu Dhabi. Even after the surgery, we did everything possible and impossible so that I could stay in the fight. However, this week the infection returned and I needed a surgical procedure again.
I’m sorry for the fans, I know this fight was highly anticipated, and I’m sorry for my team and for myself, as I’m the most interested in fighting, after all it takes months of training and money invested to be here.
I would really like to thank those who support me and especially the UFC, for all the support given to me from the first surgery until now. They put me in the best hospital with the best doctors, daily monitoring by doctors here and Doctor D (UFC doctor) I hope to be back soon and that this fight can be held in the near future”
