Ricardo Arona has withdrawn from his ADCC superfight against Roger Gracie due to suffering a relapse of Dengue fever, a disease transmitted by mosquitos which has symptoms that includes headaches, joint pains and rashes.
In Arona's place will be John Olav Einemo, who in 2003, became the last person to defeat Roger Gracie in the ADCC.
Arona is Roger Gracie's second opponent forced to drop out of the grappling match. Arona was a replacement for Dean Lister, who underwent surgery to repair his torn biceps on his right arm.
The superfight is part of this weekend's ADCC World Submission Wrestling Championships in Trenton, New Jersey.
