Following Saturday night’s Strikeforce event, CEO Scott Coker told MMA Fighting that female fighter Cindy Dandois was forced to pull out of a June 18 fight against Gina Carano because she was three and a half months pregnant.
“Cindy actually wanted to take the fight,” Coker said, “and ended up being three and a half months pregnant. So she will not be fighting on June 18.”
Dandois confirmed the news Tuesday on her Facebook fan page:
“I am so sad I cant take the fight against Gina. It was and still is one of my biggest goals. But on the other hand, it is a blessing from God to get a child an [sic] become a mother again. A child is forever and you must care about a life that is given by the hand of God. I hope I can do the fight after my pregnancy.”
