THE injury bug struck again yesterday as Sweden’s Guram Kutateladze was forced to pull out of the upcoming lightweight title fight against Cleiton “Predator” Silva at Brave CF 35 to be held in Brazil on March 28.
According to sources close to the situation, Kutateladze suffered a rib fracture during his last sparring session ahead of the trip to Brazil. The length of Kutateladze’s recovery, though, was not informed by his team nor Brave CF officials.
With only a couple of weeks before the beginning of Brave CF 35 fight week in Balneário Camboriú, Brazil, the promotion hasn’t announced yet what are its plans, finding a new opponent for the champion Cleiton “Predator” or simply cancelling the main event.
