Gaff
Sexton
#1 Unified ranked flyweight Sheila Gaff has pulled out of her title match this coming Saturday with #2 ranked Rosi Sexton for the Cage Warrior’s 125 title due to an insistent cold. Doctors have refused her to fight according to an article on Ground and Pound Germany. Rescheduling is very unlikely, however.
Sexton, who was insistent on Gaff and herself being drug tested for their battle in the UK, states it would take $6,000 in order for them to do so again for another bout. Europe’s MMA drug test is not a stringent or sometimes unrequired.
Sexton is obviously worried about steroid use in the WMMA scene in Europe. The worry has started her to contemplate retirement sooner rather than later.
You can read more about the story and Sexton’s comments on MMARising.com.
