Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Simply over every week in the past, information broke that Dominick Reyes was compelled to withdraw from his scheduled bout reverse Carlos Ulberg at UFC Atlantic Metropolis. A month prior, Ulberg was the person who withdrew from the match up, which initially was alleged to happen at UFC 297. A minor disagreement ensued after the primary withdrawal, and in the end, Ulberg has been rebooked versus Alonzo Menifield.
Because it seems, that’s removed from the tip of the story. In a latest interview with Center Straightforward, Reyes revealed that he was compelled to withdraw from the struggle as a consequence of sudden blot clots in his calf, a situation that might have simply turned lethal.
“God places us by means of some trials, and I’m having one other onerous go proper now,” Reyes defined (by way of MMA Junkie). “Me and Carlos have been slated to struggle January twentieth. He pulled out, I don’t know why. It’s an damage, clearly, however he’s not going to say what his damage is. After which every week later, I ended up getting blood clots. Deep vein thrombosis. So yeah, I’m out for a minute.”
“I’m fortunate to be alive proper now, that’s all the time good,” Reyes continued. “We caught it early, so it didn’t grow to be a pulmonary embolism, and thank God for that. Which is type of loopy as a result of I bought a therapeutic massage. My leg was hurting, and I believed I pulled a muscle in my calf, so I bought a therapeutic massage, and that’s the worst factor you may ever do. I’m fortunate I didn’t die on that therapeutic massage desk proper there.”
Sadly, it’s not like Reyes can simply instantly hop again into coaching both. He’s been prescribed blood thinners, so it his critical coaching choices are restricted for the following few months.
When he is ready to return to motion, Reyes is trying to break a tough streak that started in February 2020 together with his controversial loss to Jon Jones. After practically taking the title, Reyes has misplaced three in a row by way of knockout to Jan Blachowicz, Jiri Prochazka, and Menifield.
