The Brazilian Rafaello Tractor is out of UFC on FX, an event scheduled to take place on January 20th, in Nashville, in the United States. The Tupiniquim athlete suffered a hand injury during training and will not be able to face the Iranian, naturalized Swede Reza Madadi. Through his Twitter, Trator informed about the injury and regretted not being able to return to the most famous octagon in the world.
“Guys, unfortunately I won't be able to fight in the UFC on January 20th, my hand is still not good”, wrote the Brazilian on the microblog, without revealing further details about the injury.
