The information was disclosed exclusively to BJPENN.COM while on the phone with Alex Davis, the man who represents all of the ATT fighters. He stated that Tavares recently “hyper extended” his elbow in training. Which is the second injury of this sort to plague the lightweight prospect and as a result he will not be able to compete on the “Rampage vs. Evans” card.
