UFC Fighters Manager Nikita Krylov Alexander Skaredin told that the athlete had been diagnosed with food poisoning.
The main event of the UFC Vegas 70 Krylov-Ryan Spann tournament has been canceled after the Russian fighter decided to pull out of the fight, citing symptoms of food poisoning. According to the fighter’s manager, Krylov had a fever and severe nausea began the morning of the fight. The athlete came to the arena, to the Apex sports complex, consulted doctors and decided to refuse the fight.
Doctors said it was acute food poisoning. Naturally, at the beginning of next week, we will pay attention to Nikita’s health in order to understand what happened. While they say there is no direct link to weight loss. Also, last time he only ate the food he was given in the UFC, i.e. he couldn’t eat a spoiled chocolate bar.
Nikita and her team didn’t call me right away because they thought it would pass. We got up, had breakfast, decided to go to the arena well in advance and talk to the doctors there. Suddenly, Nikita was in the arena, in the medical room, with the guys in her corner. We called around 01:30 Moscow time, discussed everything and made a decision. Skaredin said in an interview.
Krylov’s fight with Spann following negotiations between the fighting teams has been postponed to the March 11 tournament, where Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili will meet in the main event.
