How we planned it, was exactly how everything was going. But 3 weeks a go I hurt my rib in training but didn’t want to pull out from my fight, it wasn’t an option. And yesterday I knew it was a risk, every fighter has been there fighting with injuries and all it took was the right knee and it took my fight away.” READ MORE- Justin Gaethje Vows to Cause Havoc if Conor McGregor Is Given the Title Shot Ahead of Him [https://www.essentiallysports.com/mma-ufc-news-justin-gaethje-vows-to-cause-havoc-if-conor-mcgregor-is-given-the-title-shot-ahead-of-him/] Meanwhile, the 36-year-old veteran [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/diego-ferreira/] promised to make a better comeback after his recovery.
