he has a fever.........

A fight on UFC 156 was offered to me but unfortunately I am wrestling an intense fever right now. Very sad about it, perfect fight for me!

With all due respect @PeraltaMMA if the @ufc would give us a later date, it would be my honor to crush you! @seanshelby

the question is...
why did he agree to it in the first place?
the fight was just announced

 

[Wanderlei Industries]

He didn't want to fight the DREAM FW Champion.

 

[JoseAldoKillaBe]

Wasn't that fight announced like yesterday?
And was it even announced as a done deal ?????

But hey, isn't this guy that asshole from TUF ? Damn, i like to root against these kinds, too bad we ain't getting this one.

yeah, just got announced...

He must be setting some kind of record for having been signed with the UFC the longest without actually fighting (TUF doesn't count as it's not a UFC contract).

 

[Judoxing]

A fever is an acceptable reason to pull out of a fight less than 5 days before it. But Almost a month? No. Sorry Akira.

 

[Instant Legend]

this dude expects a fever to hinder him for the next month?

I'm confused as shit about this one.

Dude always rubbed me the wrong way...this horrifically lame excuse doesn't help matters.

time for the axe.

Great opportunity to get 11-1 Team Apha Male fight Andre "Touchy" Fili in.

 

[JoseAldoKillaBe]

yeah, just got announced...

He probably never accepted it then, someone could have leaked the offered deal, just saying.

He "beat" andy ogle

[orangecuse]

They must have cut off part of his message...

The perfect fight for me! To catch the beatdown I have coming.

He fought in September, sir.


I do agree with the overall sentiment, the guy seems hurt/sick all the time.

 

[MolesyMMA]

Andre Fili, Rick Glenn, Mark Steigl - one of them Sean!

 

[michels66]

Who was he going to fight?

 

[Instant Legend]

Who was he going to fight?

someone he CLEARLY fears.

 

[gopackgo555]

This is like the 4th or 5th time he's pulled out and I'm sorry but a fever?

My little brother played a football game with a fever when he was 10

 

[who cares]

[QUOTE="Rush";78085431]Andre Fili, Rick Glenn, Mark Steigl - one of them Sean![/QUOTE]

Or Nick Lobosco.

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also does this mean that I can miss class in a month if I get sick now?

 

[Face Stab]

Can't say I care too much. His victory on TUF came after a fake tap, lol.
