After being forced out of a fight with Brian Ortega, due to having concussion like symptoms, Max Holloway has posted a statement.

The featherweight champ, who was supposed to face Ortega in the co-main event of UFC 226 today, recently posted these comments.

It was what it was. Respect to Ortega and his team. Thank you @danawhite and the @UFC staff for making my health priority. Also thank you to @lilheathenmma and @frankieedgar for being about that champ life and stepping up. I see you. To all the fans I know this rollercoaster can be frustrating because my team is also on it with you. All I can say is I’m truly sorry and I hope you guys stay buckled in because it is far from being over. Don’t let the bad surprises distract you from the good surprises in this great sport. The best is still blessed #blessyourself
