"Surdu stated, 'Our business is a hard business. Until the last day, you can be good but on the last day you can do something or you can have some problem unfortunately.' He expressed hope that both he and Gogoladze would be ready for their matchup."
"'After that I went for a blood test, I did tests on my body and unfortunately there was bacteria in my body. Because of this bacteria, my kidneys were blocked and I couldn't do my weight, so for that [reason] I missed the weight.'"
"'It was a crazy, crazy 24 hours. I [missed] the weight, there was a chance to not fight, because 3 and a half kilos, it was a lot, and much respect to Kalašnik that he accepted the fight.'"
Ion Surdu is preparing to face Amiran Gogoladze at Oktagon 86 after multiple previous cancellations. Surdu expressed hope that both he and Gogoladze will be ready for the fight. He acknowledged the unpredictability of the fight business, stating he is prepared for any situation. Surdu lost his welterweight title due to missing weight, which was caused by a bacterial infection affecting his kidneys. After addressing his health issues, he is now focused on returning to the welterweight division without considering moving up in weight classes again.
