What occurred to Hailey Cowan?
The up-and-coming bantamweight was pulled from the UFC Vegas 70 event after struggling an ovarian cyst rupture. The following blood loss was sufficient to stop “All Hail” from making it to the dimensions for the early (and official) weigh ins, stranding opponent Ailin Perez on the “Sin Metropolis” scale.
“I had an ovarian cyst rupture within the evening earlier than weigh-ins,” Cowan wrote on social media. “I misplaced plenty of blood and the docs pulled me. I used to be on weight and able to go. Tremendous unlucky however we are going to rebook ASAP. Apologies to the followers and my opponent, however this was past my management.”
Cowan wasn’t the one fighter to overlook the UFC Vegas 70 card. Occasion headliner Nikita Krylov was also pulled at the eleventh hour, forcing the promotion to rebook his Ryan Spann showdown for a later date. I’m positive that doesn’t come as a lot comfort to Perez, who left her household behind in Argentina.
“The hardest half was leaving my son,” Perez advised MMA Junkie. “I wasn’t with him on New Yr’s. I’m not there at evening to maintain him firm, and he’s simply 5. He simply began kindergarten and I missed out on his first days in kindergarten. I’ve missed out on soccer tournaments of his, and I actually needed to be there. He performs goalie on a crew. That hurts me loads. As I mom, I worth these issues. By far the most important sacrifice is being away from my son.”
UFC is anticipated to rebook Cowan vs. Perez within the coming weeks.
