Quintana Withdraws from Bout with Avelar
Andres “The Bullet” Quintana (5-1) simply wrote on his facebook page today “I had to pull out of my fight in Mazatlan Mexico. Sorry everyone.”
Upon further investigation, Quintana informed us at Caged Minds that he is injured with a partially torn Bicep tendon. At this point there is not a timetable fo his recovery. Quintan was expected to face Omar Avelar (6-5) in the main event of Mazatle K.O. on August 17th at the Mazatlan International Center.
“The Bullet” is currently on a 5 fight winning streak, all by TKO and was also rumored to be slatted for a spot on the October 25th Bellator card at the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
As for Avelar he comes into this fight looking to end a two fight losing skid to Russell Doane and Jacob Hardgrove both by submission. The losing streak came on the heels of consecutive decisions over Scott Brown and Jon Maryanski. Avelar has 2 of 3 stoppage wins by TKO.
