Alvin Hines withdraws from UFC Fight Night 293 against Gabriel
\nLourenco<\/h2>\n

Hines plans to continue training with adjustments while recovering
\nfrom vertigo and hopes to return to competition at full
\nstrength.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to pull out of this one for medical reasons due to vertigo,\u201d
\nHines wrote on Instagram. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t an easy decision, but I know I
\nneed to be able to step into that Octagon at 100% and perform to my
\ntrue potential. I\u2019m going to continue fight camp with some
\nadjustments while I work through this and get myself back to where
\nI need to be. I\u2019m not walking away from the fight. I\u2019m taking the
\ntime to get right so when I\u2019m back in there, I can put on the kind
\nof fight I know I\u2019m capable of. I\u2019m sorry for the change, and I
\nappreciate everyone who was looking forward to seeing me compete.
\nTrust me, I\u2019ll be back. Sometimes the hardest part of fighting
\nisn\u2019t throwing punches. It\u2019s knowing when to step back, get right,
\nand prepare for the next battle. This is just a setback. Not the
\nend of the story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hines (7-2) was an undefeated prospect with six finishes in seven
\nvictories when he signed with the UFC last year. However, \u201cGoozie\u201d
\nhas lost both of his Octagon appearances. Meanwhile, Lourenco (8-1)
\nwas slated to make his promotional debut against Hines after
\nearning a contract with a first-round knockout victory over Charlie
\nCleveland on
\nDana White\u2019s Contender Series<\/a> in September.<\/p>\n
