Joe Pyfer had a rough recent trip across the border to fight at UFC Mexico City. Booked to fight Kelvin Gastelum at the March 29 event, Pyfer's middleweight tilt was ultimately cancelled after a last-minute illness prevented him from competing. The Philadelphia native then took to social media, stating he had severe nausea that resulted in vomiting and sweating throughout the night, as well as "at least 10 or 11" trips to the bathroom. In doing so, Pyfer also took out his frustrations on Mexico.
“I don’t care if it’s offensive to you, I will never go back to that country,” Pyfer ranted.
