Bryan Barberena is out of his next fight after undergoing emergency surgery.
Per an announcement on Barberena’s social media, he has been forced to withdraw from a welterweight bout opposite Daniel Rodriguez scheduled for Nov. 14 at UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
According to the post, Barberena “had an emergency exploratory laparotomy due to internal bleeding from a couple [of] ruptured arteries in his omentum [an internal organ in the midsection].” A quick recovery is expected, but no timetable has been presented for when Barberena might return to action.
