MMA Junkie<\/a>],<\/p>\n\u201cHey everyone, I have some really tough news to share. After careful consideration and talking with my team and medical professionals, I\u2019ve had to make the heartbreaking decision to pull out of my fight this week.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis isn\u2019t a choice I ever thought I\u2019d have to make, but my health and safety have to come first. I truly appreciate all your support and understanding during this time, and I promise to come back stronger soon. I would like to apologize to the @ufc and also to my opponent @ateba_theassassin. This decision was a hard one.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut through it all, I trust God\u2019s plan. I believe everything happens for a reason, even when I can\u2019t see it yet. This is just another test, another chapter, and I promise you I will get back up. I\u2019m going to keep fighting, keep believing, and keep pushing forward. Thank you to everyone who continues to ride with me. Your support means more than you know. This one hurts I\u2019m truly heartbroken.\u201d<\/p>\n
The UFC run of Ateba Gautier so far, pre-UFC 320<\/p>\n
The issue was medical in nature, but Diaz did not get into the in-depth specifics about what happened to pull him from the card. It is unclear as of this writing if the promotion is working towards a re-booking for Gautier to keep him on the event.<\/p>\n
The Cameroon native was scheduled for the feature fight of UFC<\/a> 320\u2019s preliminary portion and was looking to grow his UFC-specific record to 3-0.
