Minutes before the walkouts, UFC Sao Paulo lost a fight – the third one canceled in 36 hours.
Following the conclusion of the prelims Saturday at Ginasio do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo, UFC commentator Brendan Fitzgerald broke news on the broadcast the fight between Armen Petrosyan and Rodolfo Vieira had been canceled. The main card, headlined by Jailton Almeida vs. Derrick Lewis, continues with five fights.
The reason is an illness with Petrosyan , revealed Fitzgerald. The cancellation marks the card’s third since the start of official weigh-ins Friday morning local time. Neither Vieira or Petrosyan have commented publicly on the matter at the time of publication, but Petrosyan’s manager said his client became ill at the arena.
Unfortunately our client Armen Petrosyan caught a virus or something back stage and has to pull out of his fight tonight in UFC São Paulo. UFC said they will look to get him back in right away as soon as he is cleared.Jailton Almeida vs. Derrick LewisCaio Borralho vs. Abus Magomedov
