Bernardo Cano Out of NYFE Fight with Injury

NEW YORK

Bernardo Cano, the Golden MMA Championships welterweight title holder who was slated to fight at next weekend's New York Fight Exchange event, is injured and won't be able to compete. Cano fell short in his bid to win the Victory Combat Sports 170-pound strap at Victory V last month, so this would've been the first step on the comeback trail.

Here's the situation in Cano's own words as per his Instagram:

GETTING MY RIGHT HAND CHECK OUT BY A #SPECIALIST ....I INJURED IT A FEW MONTHS AGO & ENDED UP REINJURING IT. UNFORTUNATELY I WON'T BE ABLE TO COMPETE NEXT SATURDAY OR FOR NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. MY APOLOGIES TO EVERYONE & ESPECIALLY MY OPPONENT RIQUI PIGATTI. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING HE HAS ANOTHER OPPONENT LINED UP. GOOD LUCK.

The MMA Journalist wishes Cano a speedy recovery.
