Jessica Aguilar was pulled from a fight at UFC Utica due to a “potentially contagious medical issue,” according to a statement from the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) to MMA Fighting.
Aguilar, a UFC strawweight, was supposed to fight Jodie Esquibel on a card last Friday. But Aguilar had a “medical issue” and the bout was canceled by the commission not long before the scheduled bout, the UFC said at the time in a statement.
“Medical personnel identified a potentially contagious medical condition,” read the NYSAC statement, via New York State Department of State spokesperson Lee Park.
