“Let me say that I’m sorry to all my friends and family and fans that came out to watch me perform,” Whittaker published. “But unfortunately I couldn’t be there. I tried my best to try and swing it. I was fighting the doctors all the way up until they said, ‘You’ve gotta get surgery or you’re gonna lose part of your bowel.’ Or it could be potentially fatal. I had to look at my health first — I’m sorry, guys.”

He was in the headliner fight of UFC 234 in Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia. In very last moment he was told that he needed emergency surgery.
