Bryan Barberena out of UFC Vegas 14 due to emergency surgery

Bryan Barberena (15-7) is officially off the UFC Vegas 14 card next week. He was scheduled to fight Daniel Rodriguez (13-1) for what promised to be solid action fight.

As to what happened? Emergency surgery.

In particular, a laparotomy: a procedure used to open the abdomen in order to identify the cause of belly pain or possible bleeding.

Because a laparotomy requires the doctor to open the abdomen, Barberena will need time to adjust his diet, as food and drinks are normally advised against consuming since the person’s bowels need time to adjust.
