New UFC signing Jared “Flash” Gordon was slated to make his Octagon debut on Saturday night’s UFC 211 preliminary card in Dallas, Texas. In an unfortunate turn of events, his featherweight matchup with Michael Quinones has been scrapped after Gordon was hospitalized for food poisoning symptoms.
“Unfortunately I will not be fighting tomorrow. Everything was going smooth last night when I turned sick at about 8-9 pm. I was experiencing food poison symptoms. I was admitted to the hospital, along side UFC's doctor. I was advised to use an IV, by both ER and UFC's doctor which would make me ineligible to fight because of USADA's rules.
