Ronys Torres out of PFL 2019: Week 2 due to NYSAC issue; Ramsey Nijem gets walkover win

An unexpected last-minute snag has bumped veteran Ronys Torres off Thursday night’s PFL 2019: Week 2 card.

Torres, who was scheduled to fight Ramsey Nijem at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y., was denied licensure by the New York State Athletic Commission.

In an Instagram post in Portuguese, Torres said the issue which caused his license denial was an eye surgery which he underwent in 2009. MMA Junkie confirmed the licensing issue with a source familiar with the proceedings.
