The injury has slowed Yodsanklai down significantly in training and forced him to withdraw from his fight with Yohan Lidon. Muay Thai Authority has confirmed that the entire bout has been scrapped, but will be re-scheduled for the next event the MPL will hold in California.
Yodsanklai, however, is making the trip to America and will be in attendance on September 2nd as well as for the press conference, currently scheduled for Wednesday, August 31st. Fans will still have a chance to meet Yodsanklai as he will be accessible to them at the event.
Brown provided Muay Thai Authority with official letters from Fairtex and Yodsanklai's doctor. Dated August 24th, the doctor's letter was sent to Brown and the MPL verifying that Yodsnaklai has an "R/O hamstring LP leg and polipteal tendon injury on his left leg and has been advised from causing any physical strain on the injury for a minimum period of 3 weeks." In the letter from Faritex, Yodsanklai's manager states "Yodsanklai will travel to Los Angeles to show his support for the league and to apologize."

the card is still bad ass with the other fighters
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity web cannot see Yod but still plenty of good fights!
ReplyDeleteSo sad!!
ReplyDeleteI bought tickets to this event specifically to see him.
However, these things happen and I wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him at the event!
The way his last fight went and seeing how I hear Lidon looked really good in his fight last night this was a smart move. He had no speed on his rear leg round kick and that's his big weapon.
