de Randamie announces UFC Paris withdrawal
“Hi guys, I’m so heartbroken to inform you that I had to pull out of my fight September 28th in Paris. Two weeks ago in training I broke my finger and fractured my foot. The doctors told me I couldn’t train for at least 3 weeks. Knowing I had only 5 weeks left .My team and I decided to pull us out, because we didn’t wanna take a risk and put one hell of a dogfight for you guys.
“I’m especially heartbroken because I’m coming close to the end of my fighting career and wanted to give this to my friends and family who planned to be attend in the arena. I had a plan but god decided differently this time. I will be back in the gym as soon as the doctor gives me green light. And I truly hope the UFC will give me my fight before the end of the year. Thank you for all your support and kind words. I will be back and do what I have planned to do. “DIE WITH MEMORIES, NOT DREAMS”
