Jared Gordon Withdraws from UFC 211 After Dealing with Food Poisoning Symptoms

UFC 211 is down to 12 bouts after Jared Gordon pulled out of his proposed featherweight clash against Michel Quinones.

“Unfortunately I will not be fighting tomorrow,” Gordon wrote on Twitter. “Everything was going smooth last night when I turned sick about 8-9 p.m. I was experiencing food poison symptoms. I was admitted to the hospital, alongside UFC’s doctor. I was advised to use an IV, by both ER and UFC’s doctor which would make me ineligible to fight because of USADA’s rules. I’m extremely sorry to everyone who were going to attend or watch.
