Caio Borralho explains why he has to pull out of his next bout

Team Fighting Nerds’ Caio Borralho has suffered a rib injury for which he had to go under the knife. Hence, his UFC 330 bout against Joe Pyfer has been cancelled, according to “The Natural.” To inform fans of the same, he posted:

“Unfortunately, the rib didn’t heal, and the displacement was dangerous because it could have punctured my lung, so we had to resort to surgery. Unfortunately, the fight at UFC 330 with my friend Joe Pyfer will not happen. I hope to be back soon and able to do what I love in the UFC.”
