Joe Pyfer says that he will never return to Mexico after he has fallen ill for his last fight.
The middleweight candidate, who is technically harder than Francis Ngannou, would be against Kelvin Gastelum against Kelvin Gastelum on Saturday evening in the Co-Main event of UFC Mexico City.
However, Joe Pyfer's fight was canceled a few hours before the card would start.
The news came as a huge shock to fight fans, because Pyfer claimed to have been the 'healthiest he was' in an interview that was released just before he withdrew from UFC Mexico City.

Joe Pyfer's X-Rated Mexico Rant
On Sunday, Joe Pyfer described the series of events that led his fight with Gastelum to be canceled.
The 28-year-old suggested that he was being brought down by an attack of food poisoning after eating in a local restaurant.
With the help of a non-so-Nice language, Pyfer explained that he experienced intense diarrhea symptoms who saw him more than 10 times at the toilet the night before his fatal fight.
The American was also taken down by fever, nausea, vomiting and 'unbearable' stomach pain before a doctor advised him to withdraw from UFC Mexico City.
Eventually Pyfer thinks he made the right call and hopes that his fight with Gastelum can be rearranged.
However, he does not go back to Mexico shortly after developing a bitter aversion to the country during his journey south of the border.
“I don't care if it is offensive to you. I will never go back to that country,” Pyfer said on his Instagram story.
“I did everything well. I slept in a tent. I did all this work to still get sick. Some people say it was not the food and say that I got altitude sickness. If that is what height and height are, F – that country.
“I will never fight there again. S-hole! Don't go back. It doesn't matter if that is offensive to you, you are not the one who fights. Suck my B —, literally”

Kelvin Gastelum shared with UFC legend in Mexico
Things were not all bad for Gastelum, although he could not compete this weekend.
Former UFC champion with double weight Henry Cejudo parties after the event with Gastelum.
Together with photos with people like Julio Cesar Chavez and UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard, Cejudo shared videos of himself and the Ultimate Fighter winner while people danced on tables while a live band played.
Gastelum may have missed the opportunity to achieve back-to-back victories for the first time since 2018, but it seems that he finally had a good night, regardless of.
