Poisoned in Brazil? Yikes.
UFC Sao Paulo went down final evening (Sat., Nov. 4, 2023), through which Jailton Almeida thoroughly dominated Derrick Lewis for 5 lengthy rounds from inside Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Brazil. In the course of the “Prelims” portion of the combat card, the printed introduced that Arman Petrosyan had fallen ill and that his fight with Rodolfo Vieira was off.
In a now-deleted Instagram put up, one among Petrosyan’s management companies advised “Superman” might have been poisoned earlier than his combat.
“Why was Armen Petrosyan’s combat canceled? Shortly earlier than the duel, Armen felt dangerous. He was significantly poisoned in Brazil,” the administration firm wrote. “Sugar has dropped sharply. It needs to be famous that the identical poisoning occurred to Roman Kopylov. There may be even a suspicion from what merchandise. Armenians have an much more critical state of affairs. It’s good that UFC matchmakers within the face of Mick Maynard, recognize Armen. Greater than a few days in the past, there was a case: UFC knowledgeable Petrosyan that his opponent Vieira is out. And a striker was supplied as a substitute.
Our fighter didn’t refuse and accepted a brand new match-up. However…[it was] reported that Vieira was prepared and he can be the one to return out. And now that such a state of affairs has occurred to Armen, UFC stated they’re ready for his restoration and are prepared to provide a brand new duel or reschedule this confrontation in a time acceptable to the Armenian fighter.
