The lesions are on my feet, so unfortunately after the surgery I won't be able to kick or grapple until healed. I am truly gutted as my whole year has been preparing for this moment; for something out of my control to take it from me.Just viewing this part of my life as another opponent to beat and hopefully I can get the clear to fight in December on the Dublin card!"
