As you've all probably seen, I unfortunately had to withdraw from my upcoming fight due to injury. I want to sincerely apologize to the UFC, my opponent, and everyone who was looking forward to this fight. I also want to thank Brendan allen "For making yourself available, it means a lot. To my fans, thank you for always supporting me and being with me through everything. Right now, my focus is on getting healthy so I can come back stronger than ever. When I do, I'll be ready to make a statement," Fluffy said. In the post itself, De Ridder wished the athlete well.
