Juan Espino’s return will have to wait a little longer.
The winner of season 28 of The Ultimate Fighter is scheduled to undergo a second hand surgery on Wednesday that will put him out of competition for the rest of 2019. Espino announced the news on Tuesday in a video he released on social media.
His statement translated from Spanish is below:
“I’m going to get another surgery and this will put me back at least three months to start training so what’s left of 2019 I won’t be able to fight. It’s a shame because I was excited and had some projects, bot oh well.
