‘It's not a joke. You are pregnant’: Athlete learns she’s pregnant days before UFC contract fight
Corinne Laframboise was shocked when she found out she was three months pregnant days before fighting for a UFC contract.
The Canadian Mixed Martial Artist had been for a compulsory blood test before the biggest fight of her career against Rainn Guerrero on Dana White's Contender Series, with the winner set to earn a UFC contract.
Less than a week before the bout, Laframboise thought text messages from her doctor were a joke, before she received a phone call, telling her she would not be able to fight as the tests showed she was pregnant.
Laframboise describes the moment she received the news to the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sport’s Paul Battison.
