MMA Fighter no-shows despite the fact that they are paid before the event: ‘This is nonsense*t’

Wilian Polen entered the cage on Saturday evening to face Daniel Alves – but his opponent never showed up.

Planned for a lightweight battle for BSB fight in Brasilia, Brazil, Poland walked to the cage and told committee officers that there would be no fight, but they still applied Vaseline to his face and the normal routine for the fight. Seconds later, BSB -Vecht promoter Roger Vieira, who happens to be Alves’ coach, announced during the event on the microphone announced that Alves could not be found anywhere.

“I am very angry with this situation,” said Vieira on Saturday evening. ‘Wilian’ Samurai ‘came from the south [of Brazil] To fight, he started fighting an athlete from my gym and the athlete disappeared. He just didn’t come, does not answer the phone, does not answer any texts. He was paid and did not show up. “

A frustrated Poles was then in turn to ventilate.

“I crossed five states to beat this guy, and where is he?” Said Poland. “This is nonsense, man. I cut 26 pounds in two weeks, 11 pounds on the last day, and this man is not there.”

Vieira told MMA on Tuesday that the last time he heard from Alves five hours before the event started. According to the coach/promoter, Alves reportedly went to his mother’s house and feels “embarrassed” with the whole situation.

Alves is 8-3 with one not contest in MMA, according to the website of the record assessment TapologyAnd Vieira said, “It’s not the first time he has done this.”

“He once said that he was not feeling well during the Vechtweek, and I could replace him, and another time he said he was not in order after the weightings,” said Vieira. “This time he did not give any statements.”

Alves did not respond immediately to messages when contacted for this story.

Poles got his show paid and won money, Vieira said. Alves received half of his show money in advance, R $ 500 (about $ 90 USD), and would receive $ 90 after the game – plus $ 180 if he would overcome.

The referee lit Poles after the unusual situation and said he would try “a knockout or an entry” on his official record for the Walkover, “so he leaves the victory and this not harmed.” Vieira said that is hope, although it is unlikely.
