UPDATE: Seth Petruzelli has been pulled from the card at the last minute after physicians opted not to let ‘The Silverback’ fight after hearing “fluid” in his lungs. Petruzelli posted the notice on Twitter.
Guys, I have unbelievable news. The doc wouldn’t clear me to fight. I have been feeling sick for past week but haven’t told anyone. When the doc checked me he said he heard weezing and fluid in my lungs. Got a 2nd doc for another opinion and he said same thing. I am so sorry…I feel like I’m in a nightmare
