Cat Zingano didn’t want to believe that her breast implants could be the culprit behind her health issues.
The one-time UFC bantamweight title contender, who recently signed a deal with Bellator MMA, revealed on Thursday that she recently underwent surgery to have her breast implants removed due to her deteriorating health.
Zingano posted a photo following her surgery while also offering details about how she got sick and struggled to understand what exactly was happening to her.
“This is my first photo shoot since I had my big surgery,” Zingano wrote on Instagram. “I sensed and researched [breast implant illness] a couple years ago but I didn’t believe in the severity and didn’t want to risk the change in vanity until I was watching it start to really kick my ass.
