Well, this kinda sucks. Paddy Holohan was forced to retire because of an extremely rare medical condition, and the UFC will not be able to medically clear him to fight. He's a young flyweight prospect in a division that badly needs talent.

He's got a bleeding disorder in which he can still form clots so he's not a typical hemophiliac, but the clots can be unstable and fail to stop bleeds, which can be a problem for internal injury. He knew he had it and never really tried to hide it from the UFC, but he didn't go out of his way to disclose it either. He was having bleeding problems after his Dublin fight, and the UFC doctors discovered his condition.
