Joe Pyfer has apologized to fans as he first posted since he has his UFC Mexico City fight on hours of cancellation.
The fan favorite Bawler would come across the former title -Utendager Kelvin Gastelum in the biggest test of his career so far. Both men normally weighed yesterday, but today it was announced by the UFC that Pyfer was forced with illness.
Fans were destroyed by the pull -out, with many noted that it was perhaps the most fascinating fight on the map. The main map is now a fight, which could lead to delays early in the broadcast.

I just want to say that my heart was broken, I couldn't fight today, “wrote Pyfer on his Instagram stories. “I became super sick and hopefully we can move this fight in a few weeks. Unfortunately, the territory of traveling outside the United States. Never apologize again. We will come back.”
Kelvin Gastelum was planning Grote UFC -COMEBACK
The most destroyed man tonight will be Kelvin Gastelum, who is looking for a great revival of the career. His fate hung in the balance and had comically missed something that was close to the welterweight limit for his last fight with Daniel Rodriguez.

He rose technically under the newly arranged middleweight limit and won the fight. But fans thought that Rodriguez was robbed, if not literally on the score cards due to the fact that his opponent did not have to cut any weight at all while he balloon at night.
That victory came after an entry defeat against Sean Brady on his return to Welterweight, as a result of which his record brought 2-6 to 2-6 since 2018. A victory again in the middleweight against someone like Pyfer would have pushed him back in the ranking and potential statement.
