A member of Derek Brunson’s fight camp informed him on Monday by a member that the Ohio Athletic Commission had denied his fight license based on an eye exam he had submitted.
It was part of his licensing for a fight with Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza at next week’s “Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey” event.
“He’s like, ‘Hey, you can’t really say anything,'” Brunson said of the conversation. “(UFC matchmaker) Sean (Shelby) is on a flight to Japan, but your fight is gone. They won’t approve your eye exam in Ohio.”
