British welterweight contender John Hathaway has been forced to withdraw from his UFC 189 fight with Gunnar Nelson due to injury.
It's been over a year since UFC welterweight contender John Hathaway stepped inside the Octagon. The 27-year-old lost to Dong Hyun Kim at The Ultimate Fighter China Finale after 'Stun Gun' landed a dramatic spinning elbow to KO the Brit in the third round. Before facing Kim, Hathaway was sidelined from competition for almost two years due to a string of injuries and a continuous battle with Crohn's disease.
Unfortunately for the Longdon Shootfighter, an undisclosed injury has forced Hathaway to spend more time on the sidelines, as MMAJunkie has reported that 'The Hitman' has withdrawn from his clash with Gunnar Nelson.
