Saturday’s UFC Vegas 66 has suffered a last minute change out as middleweight Deron Winn was forced to pull out of the bout against Julian Marquez due to an accident.
On Instagram, Winn opened up on the unfortunate situation.
“Yesterday at the UFC PI, I fainted and had a freak accident,” Winn wrote. “I fell down the stairs, hit my head and neck pretty hard. Sustained a mild concussion. They rushed me to the hospital and ran a bunch of tests on me. The majority of the tests came back normal, so I’m thankful for that.”
“Since I suffered the concussion, the UFC and medical has decided to pull me from my fight this weekend. I am devastated. I have put so much work in these last couple months. I hope to rebook soon. Sorry to my opponent and sorry to all who have invested into me this camp. I’m heartbroken. Love all of you who support me.”
