"At the weigh-in I felt bad, but thought I would feel better when I replenished my water balance and ate. When I woke up the next day, I didn't feel better - I couldn't eat, drink or even get out of bed to go to the bathroom.I fought my ego to the last minute, but in the end I made the decision to cancel the fight. I tried to do something crazy because of my love of fighting, but my body just couldn't take it. Diego Lopez, I can only imagine how you felt from your side - you have nothing but my respect. I'm going to talk to Hunter Campbell and we're going to fix this with you, make it right."
