Daniel Rodriguez vs. Neil Magny is no longer happening at UFC Vegas 62 next Saturday.
‘D-Rod’ announced Thursday he was forced to withdraw because of an elbow infection stemming from a cut he suffered in his fight against Li Jingliang at UFC 279 this past September.
“Got a little bit of bad news,” said Rodriguez on Instagram Stories (H/T CBS Sports’ Shakiel Mahjouri). “Woke up this morning, elbow f—king throbbing. I had this cut, this little cut since my last fight and it got infected, which kind of spread. So it looks like I’m out of the fight, man, due to a MRSA infection we’re guessing.
