Joe Pyfer explains the withdrawal of UFC Mexico Metropolis
“I simply wish to say my coronary heart is damaged, I could not battle at present,” he wrote. “I’ve turn into very sick and I hope we are able to reschedule this battle for just a few weeks now. Sadly, it comes with territory to journey exterior the state. By no means once more.
Pyfer did not go into particulars, but it surely seems he’s reluctant to journey exterior the US for future battles. Which may work for Joe Rogan, however it may be tough for Pyfer. He was capable of restrict himself to combating in American soil, however his division champion, Doricus Duplesis, is from South Africa and sometimes fights internationally. Different prime middleweights like Khamzat Chimaev, Nassourdine Imavov, Robert Whittaker and Israel Adesanya often do the identical factor. In the end, Pyfer could also be requested to leap on a aircraft to battle one of many prime canine within the division.
Anyway, it is a disgrace he is popping out of tonight’s occasion. He’s at present not ranked, however lately rebounded from the lack of a tricky resolution to Jack Hermanson with a serious knockout from Mark Andre Barrier. If he defeated Gastherum, he might have dated a ranked opponent. From there, combating folks like Whittaker and Adesanya is only some wins.
UFC Mexico Metropolis can be headlined by the battle between prime flyweight contenders Brandon Moreno and Steve Elseg.
