Alan Belcher

UFC middleweight fighter Alan “The Talent” Belcher’s might be done fighting – for good.

Belcher suffered a potentially career-ending detached retina and was forced to pull out of his scheduled headlining UFC Fight Night bout against Demian Maia due to the injury which required surgery.

Belcher said he suffered the injury in training and possibly exacerbated it by flying to and from Brazil as a result of the pressure change caused by flying.

His wife, Ashlee Belcher, recently used the fighter’s Twitter account to say that her husband had to undergo a second surgery and is in much pain as a result.

“This is alans wife @Ashleebelcher Yesterday his vision was blurry again today heading into another surgery on same eye please keep praying,” Mrs. Belcher posted.

Belcher’s wife indicated that the successfulness of the second surgery will become evident over the next month, and that “The Talent” is in for some serious discomfort in the meantime.

“We are home He is in a lot of pain though Next few weeks are really important He has to lay face down :( thanks for prayers, @Ashleebelcher.”

Belcher is currently 16-6 as a professional fighter and has gone 4-1 in his last five fights with his only loss being a razor-thin split decision defeat to Yoshihiro Akiyama. Belcher has wins over Wilson Gouveia, Denis Kang, Ed Herman, Jorge Santiago and Patrick Cote.Similar Posts:
