Rated American UFC heavyweight Curtis Blades told why he had to withdraw from the fight against Jailton Almeida, who was scheduled to headline UFC Fight Night 231 on November 4th in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The day before it became known that Derrick Lewis agreed to replace Blaydes.
“The injuries received during training camp did not heal quickly enough for me to show a quality performance on November 4th.
I will take a break from training and focus on recovery so I can return with full confidence in my abilities. I apologize to everyone who was waiting for this fight. And I swear that my decision was not hasty,” the American wrote on Instagram.
