MMA Junkie’s Nolan King was first to report that Pitbull’s co-main event vs. former LFA champion Jaleel Willis has been nixed. Freire was not cleared by the commission at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut, and it’s since been revealed by MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz that Patricky is unfortunately suffering from labyrinthitis, which is an inner ear disorder.
