Joe Pyfer is not happy.
UFC Mexico
Joe Pyfer was set to take on Kelvin Gastelum at UFC Mexico this past Saturday, but the fight was cancelled the day of due to Joe being sick and not being able to compete. The following day, Pyfer took to his Instagram Stories to apologize to Kelvin and then explained what went down.
Went to dinner, had some food at a place that was supposedly trusted, and yeah – a couple hours later, I had the runs, I think I sh*t at least 10, 11 times. I went from I think 209 pounds, something like that, as I was still hydrating, down to 194 pounds the morning of with a puddle I was sleeping in. a fever, nausea obviously. Vomit, excrutiating stomach pain, and the doctor, as well as I did, didn’t find it smart to fight like that. And I know that’s not what everybody wants, but I have to look out for me and my health, and what’s my best interest. Trust me, I am upset as well.
Pyfer explained that he took a financial blow flying out friends and family and then not being paid to fight. He left off by going at the country as a whole, saying he will never go back.
I don’t care if it’s offensive to you, I will never go back to that country, I did everything right. I slept in a tent. I did all this work to still get sick. Some people are saying it wasn’t the food, saying I got altitude sickness. I’m not a f*cking geographic f*cking, you know, elevation f*cking scientist, but I was told as long as I acclimated, which I did for two months, slept in a tent on the f*cking floor – you know, I did everything that I could to prepare. If that’s what altitude and elevation is, f*ck that country. I will never fight there again. Sh*t hole. Not going back. Don’t care if that’s offensive to you. You’re not the one fighting. Suck my balls. Literally.
UFC is looking to possibly re-book the Pyfer vs. Gastelum fight soon, but no details have been revealed on where or when that may be.
