Blaydes explains withdrawal from fight against Almeida

UFC rated heavyweight Curtis Blades told why he was forced to abandon the fight with Gilton Almeida, which was supposed to take place on November 5 at the UFC Fight Night 231 tournament ...

“In June, I twisted my ankle during a wrestling match. Two weeks later I returned to the gym, I thought I would recover quickly, but I’m no longer young. My body doesn’t work like that anymore.

It was only in early October that I realized that the discomfort was not going away and that I was seriously injured. That’s why I had to withdraw from the fight,” Middle Easy quotes the American.

Let us remember that as a result, Almeida met with Derrick Lewis, whom he defeated by unanimous decision in an extremely boring fight.
