I don’t have a lot of words to describe my emotions at the moment. I want to apologize to my opponent @jodieesquibel and her camp for this fight not happening today. I’m truly very sorry Jodie. I went to do a small shakeout this morning and was working some basic drills when I rolled my ankle with the full weigh of my body and my training partners. I immediately iced it and was hoping that it wouldn’t be that bad but it became obvious very quickly that this was a bad sprain. The ufc medical team along with Sean Shelby came to my room and the decision was made along with my team that I couldn’t fight. I have a grade 2 sprain and will know more after x-rays. I’m heart broken and I know Jodie must be as well. Hopefully Jodie and I can be rebooked ASAP. Thank you to everyone for the support, it means more than you know.

　本日開催する『UFC on ESPN 1: Ngannou vs. Velasquez』でジョディ・エスキベルと対戦予定だったジェシカ・ペネが大会直前に右足首を捻挫し欠場、試合は中止されるとのこと。ロバート・ウィテカー vs. ケルヴィン・ガステラムのようにメインイベントではないものの、2大会連続で土壇場での中止試合が出てしまいました。
