Roberto Cyborg Injured, Out of Metamoris 6, Ryron Gracie To Face Barnett

 

 

Things are going from bad to worse for the Metamoris 6 card. They have just anounced on their Facebook account that Roberto Cyborg Abreu is out of the event due to an injury. This happens just 3 days before the event.

 

Roberto Cyborg Abreu has unfortunately suffered an injury in the lead up to Metamoris 6 and will be unable to face Josh Barnett for the Metamoris Heavyweight Championship. A world champion in his own right, Cyborg was ready and motivated for the challenge in facing Barnett. We want to wish him a quick and safe recovery and look forward to seeing him back in Metamoris soon.
Stay tuned for further details on who will now face Josh Barnett for the Metamoris Heavyweight Title.

Now they have just announced that the late replacement is….Ryron Gracie!

RYRON GRACIE has stepped up to replace the injured Cyborg Abreu to face Josh Barnett in an Open-Weight Super Fight for Metamoris 6. Ryron comes from a line of always-ready warriors and gives no hesitation in stepping up to face Josh Barnett. || Witness M6 LIVE on All Access.

Ryron last appeared on Metamoris 1 where he drew with Andre Galvao in a match where he was mostly defending.

 

Word is also out that this Saturday’s Metamoris 6 will not have an audience present at the event. No venue has been announced. The only way to watch it will be online on its Pay Per View.

The first 5 editions of Metamoris all had a live audience.

Metamoris founder Ralek Gracie told MMAFighting.com in a statement:

“We are experimenting with a more intimate setting for our athletes in their participation and focusing our resources on the pay-per-view experience for fans worldwide.”

The Metamoris card still looks amazing but the event for the second time in a row is on the same time and day as Copa Podio Heavyweight Grandprix which will have a FREE LIVE STREAM.

The audience will once again be split between the two instead of being able to have everyone watching both shows. Copa Podio anounced their dates 2 weeks before Metamoris.
