| Alan Belcher pulls out of UFC Fight Night 22 With Demian Maia. From Twitter: - Quote :
- While I was in brazil I started losing my vision in my right eye. I saw a dr that told me to go back to us immediately. My friend/surgeon from biloxi got me an emergency surgery scheduled in alabama now just trying to recover. No contact for 6 weeks. Sorry to my trainers. Sorry to ufc & demian Maia, I know he has been training specifically for me. Sorry to my fans as well. As long as I get released from dr I will try to make ufn 22 to see my fans and watch the fights
Oh well, I wasn't keen on this bout anyway. | |

Leban. I don't know I think chris might have went on a food binge after having to fight twice so close. | |

| Losing vision in his right eye, I hope to god it's not a detached retina. |

| As for a replacement I hope it's not Leben, I want Leben to get a crack at Wandi. |

| At first glance, Okami is a nightmare matchup for Maia. Good chance that fight happens though | |

| man sad to hear that about Belcher hope he heals but like Ali and Im said thats a really bad injury for this sort along with boxing
we have seen to many boxers have their careers derailed because of this, even sadder if it happened in training (which is what hapened to Frazier, and some other great fighters) | |

| Update http://middleeasy.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2728:alan-belchers-vision-is-permantely-damaged-and-he-may-be-forced-to-quit-mma&catid=36:fighters"I have a detached retina, just lost the vision in my right eye all of a sudden. Just happened all of a sudden man, pretty much over night. I was in Brazil training, I messed around there for a few days and then afterward I had to come home and have a surgery the day after I came home. I think it happened in training but I don't know exactly when. It might of been from the pressure of the airplane that might have finished it off, but before that I probably had some tears [as in rips] in my retina and it was just from getting hit in the head probably. A few weeks before I noticed some flashing, kind of seeing stars when I closed my eyes. I didn't really know what that was so I should have got it checked out then but I didn't really think about it until I stated losing my vision. Oh well. It's going to take a couple months to heal and be at its peak, then I'll know how good my vision comes back. I lost a lot of my peripheral vision and I got that back right away after the surgery, but everything is blurry and distorted pretty much the same as everything was before the surgery. I guess my sight should be getting better...[the doctor] says it's definitely not going to get back to the same but at best it's going to be something like 20/40, 20/60 vision. I'm going to be really near-sighted. I can't see anything far away and when it gets close I can almost see it. There's going to be more surgeries even at the best case scenario. Worst case scenario is I don't get any better than this, I'm only working with one eye, I probably don't want to risk fighting again because if I lose that one I'm going to be blind." | |
