The 32-year-old added a caption that confirmed he will no longer fight Juan Diaz at UFC 334.
“Starting off the week strong,” Yanez wrote alongside a crying laughing emoji.
“Humor is my way of coping.
“Really wanted to fight at MSG, the history there… and I wanted to be a part of it.
“I’ll be back soon tho. Lord willing.”
It remains unclear what forced Yanez out of his fight and into a hospital bed.
