Prior to UFC 203, UFC middleweight CB Dollaway was pulled from his scheduled fight with Francimar Barroso<\/a> after it was revealed that he sustained a back injury the night before their scheduled UFC 203 fight.<\/p>\n

While details regarding the injury weren’t immediately available, a report emerged shortly after that Dollaway was one of several UFC 203 fighters stuck on an elevator<\/a> the night before the fight. Unfortunately, Dollaway was injured in the elevator mishap, and was forced to withdraw from the bout with a back injury.<\/p>\n

Video footage of the situation showed Urijah Faber, and Fabricio Werdum also trapped on the elevator<\/a> with their respective teams. However, everyone else was uninjured in the elevator situation.<\/p>\n

Now, Ariel Helwani has revealed new details about the situation, revealing that the incident wasn’t the only elevator incident that occurred leading up to UFC 203.<\/p>\n

By the way, that was 3 elevator incidents involving UFC fighters or staff in a 24-hour stretch. Stairs it is from here on out.<\/p>\n
