Update: Anderson Silva Undergoes Surgery To Remove Gall Bladder
As reported on Tuesday evening, MMA legend Anderson Silva is out of his scheduled fight against Urijah Hall at this Saturday’s UFC 198 pay-per-view in Curitiba, Brazil.
Silva’s doctor Marcio Tannure told MMAFighting.com that “The Spider” is scheduled to undergo surgery to remove his gall bladder on Wednesday morning.
He was expected to fly from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Curitiba, Brazil for the fight on Tuesday morning, however he was instead rushed to the hospital four hours before his team was scheduled to leave.
“He called me and said ‘I’m going to the hospital, but I’ll get better’, so we came to Curitiba,” Silva’s coach Luiz Carlos Dorea said to MMA Fighting. “When we arrived in Curitiba, he said ‘Master, I came home but the pain is too much.’ I told him to eat something, but he said ‘I can’t, I’m eating and throwing up.’ He told me this afternoon that it was too painful and he had to go back to the hospital.”
Dorea continued, explaining that Silva was merely five pounds away from making weight before he felt incredible pain.
“He was doing great, and this came out of nowhere,” Dorea said. “He felt some (abdominal) pain before, but nothing serious. He always came back to train the next day, so we never imagined it would be something like this.”
Headlined by Fabricio Werdum vs. Stipe Miocic for the UFC Heavyweight Championship and featurinng Cris Cyborg’s Octagon debut against Leslie Smith, Vitor Belfort vs. Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua vs. Corey Anderson and more, UFC 198 is scheduled for Saturday, May 14, 2016 in Curitiba, Brazil.
