Women’s bantamweight contender Ketlen Vieira won’t be performing at UFC Fight Night 137 anymore.
Forced to pull out from her bout against Tonya Evinger, the 27-year-old had an undisclosed reason to exit the card according to MMAjunkie, which was later revealed to be a knee injury that will require surgery, per MMA Fighting’s Marc Raimondi.
“I’m really upset. God knows how much I wanted to fight. I’ve cried a lot, but I accept God’s decisions. If he wanted this, I accept it. I just want to recover as soon as possible to be able to come to do what I love,” Vieira told MMA Fighting.
