Hes had this previously, but never on battle week or even battle day. This occurred now. Hell go see more doctors and when were sure its under control well talk about his next fight.”
Labyrinthitis causes swelling of the inner ear or the nerves that connect the inner ear to the brain.
” I caught him in his space a bit dizzy right when we were going to delegate the arena,” Patricio Freire composed. “He wished to battle and didnt desire to tell us. We gave him the advantage of the doubt, but he didnt improve when we got to the locker space and we canceled the fight.
The more youthful Freire later released a declaration on his main Instagram account where he verified his bros diagnosis.
” Pitbull” Freire and Willis were arranged to take on in a 159-pound catchweight bout. Freire, the older bro of two-division champ Patricio Freire, most just recently combated this previous December in a losing effort versus Tofiq Musayev in the finals of the Rizin lightweight grand prix. LFA veterinarian Willis was making his Bellator launching on the strength of a four-fight winning streak.
In a ready declaration, Michael Mazzulli, executive director of the Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation, which manages Bellator events held in the “Fight Sphere” at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., stated Freire was not cleared to complete due to “an undisclosed illness.” He added, “it is not associated with Covid-19 or weight-cutting.”
Numerous people with knowledge of the scratch confirmed the news to MMA Fighting after an initial report from MMA Junkie. Both fighters will be compensated for the cancelled bout, per Bellator authorities.
Bellator 249 lost its co-headliner Patricky Freire vs. Jaleel Willis quickly before the opening bell when Freire came down with labyrinthitis, an infection activated by a cold or flu. Its unclear exactly what triggered Patricky Freires condition.
