Amanda Serrano could night fight in the main event of her card in Puerto Rico for a highly bizarre reason.

On Saturday night before the start of the main event, a tearful Serrano entered the ring and revealed that she was not medically cleared to fight due to an eye injury.

After the fight, MVP promoter Nikasa Bidarian revealed that Serrano got injured after she got her hair done before the fight, and some of the chemicals fell into her eyes during a run.

“According to Nakisa Bidarian, Serrano had her hair done Thursday night. She went for a run on Friday, a chemical from the hair went into her eye. It starting bothering her Friday and that’s why she wore glasses at the ceremonials. Bothered her all day today and when they examined her tonight at the arena the commission doctor wouldn’t clear her. She tried to convince them otherwise but alas no luck.”

Jake Paul adds that the chemical burnt her cornea and hand.

Gate was 1.5 million, and Bidarian says they will refund it all back 100%.

A tearful Serrano promised to make up the fight for her hometown Puerto Rican fans, and MVP planned to give fans a full refund.
