Hello everyone, unfortunately I won’t be able to compete in UFC London on March 16 , I injured my right knee and because of that I won’t be able to train for the next three weeks so, I won’t have enough time to prepare myself for this fight. I just want to apologize with all my fans and also my opponent, and soon I will be back stronger than ever thank you !! . Olá a todos, infelizmente não vou poder competir no UFC de Londres no dia 16 de março, machuquei meu joelho direito e por causa disso não vou poder treinar pelas próximas três semanas então, não terei tempo suficiente para me preparar para essa luta. Eu só quero me desculpar com todos os meus fãs e também com o meu adversário, e em breve estarei de volta mais forte do que nunca obrigado !! @mmamasters @daniel_fvalverde @ihpfit @rachidrenato @humanetics
