A main card fight between Raulian Paiva and David Dvorak is no longer happening.
The Brazilian flyweight didn’t even make it to Friday’s UFC Vegas 27 weigh-in and was hospitalized for a bad weight cut. This is a story we’ve seen all too often in MMA, and it continues to happen at the highest level of the sport.
“I was cutting weight yesterday and I was fine, I was really fine, and I remember leaving the sauna to do some towels and then I had a strong headache and pain in the chest, and then I don’t remember anything anymore,” Paiva said to MMA Fighting.
