Just days after it was announced that Nicholas Meregali would face Erbeth Santos in the main event at Fight 2 Win 130 on November 2, F2W CEO Seth Daniels has revealed that Meregali has now pulled out of the heavyweight title match.
Meregali, who will be competing at the BJJ Stars GP event tomorrow night, is reportedly not injured, but decided he didn’t want to compete because he has Korea’s Spyder Invitational coming up in late November, which takes place weeks after F2W 130.
Daniels made the announcement on Friday and pulled no punches when it came to saying what he thought of Meregali’s decision:
“🚨 Weak shit alert 🚨 @nicholasmeregali pulls out of fight vs @erberthsantos@f2wbjj 130 in Denver. No he is not injured, This match was agreed upon, purse agreed upon everything agreed upon. I double and triple checked before announcing. Nicks reasoning is that he wants to focus on his upcoming tournament at Spyder in Korea November 22nd and it’s too close to do both…..3 weeks apart even though he was fine competing at bjj stars two weeks before f2w 🤔 no I did not put him on a contract i never do contracts piece of paper should not be what has to hold you to your integrity. A new opponent for Erberth will be announced soon, Nick thanks for wasting my time ❤️💋❤️💋 “
Speculation is now open to who might replace Meregali in the event. The Jiu-Jitsu Times will provide updates on Santos’ future opponent as they become available.
