The president of UFC Dana White told about the reasons of replacement of Rozherio Nogeyra (21-5) on Jimi Manuva (14-0) in fight against Alexander Gustafsson (15-2), taken place all in couple of days after the duel announcement.
"We simply decided to organize this fight. Gustafsson agreed, we didn't manage to contact Rozherio, then I sent all to hell and simply left and announced this duel.
And, of course, as a result it became clear, Rozherio is injured. Before fight more than four months, and it already is now sure that won't manage to be restored.
I don't understand it. This guy all the time on the sick-list. Every time when we try to organize a duel with it, becomes clear that it is injured", - White told.
