Trevor Peek has pulled out of his upcoming featherweight fight against Jeong Yeong Lee at UFC Des Moines after suffering a leg fracture while jump roping at the UFC Performance Institute. Peek shared his experience on Instagram, explaining the injury occurred due to a moment of carelessness during his routine. Although he expressed a desire to fight, he acknowledged the importance of the decision made by UFC officials to pull him from the card, emphasizing the significance of his next fight for his career.
"I actually fractured my leg at the Performance Institute on Friday. It's not a bad fracture, I still have to go get CT scans in the next day or two..."
"I wish I had a cool story how I did it, but I got on some soft mats and was jump roping... Come down with all my weight on my left leg and it sounded like a shotgun whenever it went off, it popped."
"Unfortunately, I was on the UFC's premises whenever I did it, so they knew about it... I certainly would have tried my best to make May 3 happen."
"This next fight of mine is going to be real important for my career, so maybe it is best that it worked out that I did it on their premises because they made the executive decision to pull me."
