MMA fighter Varun Sanyal says he withdraws from a bout after experiencing a weight-cut blackout, describing that he was “forced to cut weight alone.” In interviews, he says he had to manage the weight reduction process without support and that this contributed to his medical episode, which led to him being unable to compete.
Both reports frame his comments as a response to the circumstances surrounding his withdrawal. Times of India says Sanyal emphasizes he “had no choice,” focusing on the pressure of cutting weight under the conditions he faced. India Today likewise highlights that he was left to cut weight alone. While the outlets differ in wording, they both attribute the withdrawal to the blackout during weight cutting and present his statements as clarifying what he says happened before the decision not to fight.
