As MMA Fighting previously reported, the surgery forced “Pitbull” Correia to withdraw from a UFC Fight Island 7 bout with Wu Yanan on Jan. 16. There’s no timetable set at the moment for Correia’s return to training.
The UFC veteran released a statement on her social media on Tuesday night, stating “my last dance and my retirement fight will have to be postponed for a little while” but vowing to “put on amazing performance” in her final octagon appearance.
Check the full statement below.
God always knows what is best for us…
I was training so hard for this fight however in the middle of the night I started to feel an unbearable pain. I was admitted to the hospital and I was diagnosed with appendicitis. The doctors advised me and my family that it was a severe case and that I would require an emergency surgery.
I want to thank the UFC and Dana White for all the support over the years.
My last dance and my retirement fight will have to be postponed for a little while, I cannot wait to put on amazing performance for you guys.
