Gunnar Nelson won't fight Nov. 19 at UFC Fight Night 99 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. 

That much we already knew. 

What's new, however, is why exactly Nelson was forced to withdraw from his main-event showdown opposite Dong Hyun Kim. 

Taking to Instagram, Nelson explained the injury he sustained in great detail.

Interestingly enough, the moment he describes is still live via the UFC United Kingdom's official Facebook page. You can watch (and hear) the entire workout--including the moment Nelson tweaks his ankle--here. 


In light of the injury, Nelson vs. Kim has been replaced by a rematch between middleweights Gegard Mousasi and Uriah Hall atop the UFC Fight Night 99 card.
