To all my fans,
I really appreciate all the support you have sent my way and
I am so sorry I am not able to fight this weekend. I trained
harder for this than any other fight in my life and I was
looking forward to this more than you know.
It started on friday with a small
mark on my leg. I immediately went to the doctor and he gave
me medication and told me if it got worse to go to the
hospital. Well, it got worse and on Sunday I went in and
have been here ever since. I am hoping they will discharge
me by Thursday.
I am very sorry if I disappointed
anyone. A lot of work by a lot of people went into this. For
it to end with something totally out of my control makes it
difficult to swallow. I will be back in the gym as soon as
possible and will be ready to fight as soon as Joe Silva can
get me back in.
I’d like to thank my coaches,
trainers, SuckerPunch, fans and sponsors (TapouT, Sprawl,
THQ/UFC Undisputed 2009 and HelpingHealthClubs.com) for
their support. Nobody is more disappointed than me. I
appreciate everything everyone put into this and can only
look forward to getting back in the octagon as soon as
possible.
Sincerely,
Amir
