UPDATED on 12/20/16 at 8:45 p.m. ET to reflect comments from Titan FC officials. Deivison Ribeiro had a four-fight winning streak snapped at Titan FC 39. Unfortunately, the loss came after he suffered a broken leg. Things went from bad to worse when Ribeiro (26-10) was stuck with a $60,000 medical bill. The situation was initially made public when the Twitter account for the MMA Fighters Association tweeted out an x-ray with the message: “After world title bout for Titan, Deivison Ribeiro ‘was left with a broken leg and $60k in unpaid medical bills.’” After world title bout for Titan, Deivison Ribeiro “was left with a broken leg and $60k in unpaid medical bills.” #MMAFA @TitanFighting pic.twitter.com/pyYq85siE4 — MMAFA (@MMAFA) November 21, 2016 Ribeiro explained the situation to MMAjunkie in late November
