Allt är inte guld och gröna skogar hos Bellator. Attila Vegh, mästaren i lätt tungvikt, gick ut och berättade hur hans match flyttats till januari på grund av att Bellator inte ville ha med honom i deras lansering av Pay Per View. I en intervju med polska MMArocks förklarar han vad det är som har hänt
”It’s about business on Bellator’s side. People want to see the rematch between King Mo and Newton. That’s why my fight is postponed to January and I’ll face the winner of the November’s fight. I’m not injured, I’m perfectly fine.
It may be caused by the fact that I’m a foreign fighter, I’m not an American. American people want to see their fighters, but I want give them my belt for free.”
Det tog inte lång tid innan Bellator skickade ut ett eget pressmeddelande om händelsen där de även skickade med ett läkarutlåtande som säger att Attila Vegh inte kan gå match och att det kommer ta 6-8 veckor innan skadan är läkt. Bellator själva skrev följande förklaring.
“ Numerous websites yesterday posted a story regarding Attila Vegh and statements he allegedly made to a reporter while in Poland. The interview was done in Slovakian, through a reporter speaking Polish, and a number of U.S. websites published the story with inaccurate and misleading information.
Please see the attached medical report to this email, a doctor’s report provided to Bellator by Attila’s doctor detailing his injury and instructing him to do nothing for two months.
Additionally, Attila has confirmed that his statements were not translated correctly and were not accurate. Attila was fully aware that Bellator made numerous attempts to schedule his world title defense vs. Emmanuel Newton, and that his injury prevented that bout from occurring and that Bellator was going to schedule an interim world title fight because of the delays.
Attila will be facing the winner of the Newton vs. Mo Interim world title fight in early 2014.”
Frågan är vad som är sant i denna historia.
