UFC statement on its decision to pull Gilbert Burns from a fight Saturday.
From UFC:
Saturday’s UFC Fight Night bout between and Olivier Aubin-Mercier has been removed from the card at Amway Center in Orlando.
Upon his arrival, the UFC medical team determined that it would be unsafe for Burns to cut additional weight necessary to meet the 156-pound limit.
The card will proceed as scheduled with twelve fights.
F-NYC take:
I am all for fighter safety as per my recent byline HERE at BodySlam.net
Hopefully he is healthy and gets a new fight soon.
