I believe Lavar is on TUF 10… I hope he fully recovers.

 According to crowbar on the UG -

"Lavar was not selected for TUF 10."

"Very sad news for me.I have traveled along in caravans including Lavar`s parents for his fights in Wargod events.I can tell you that Lavar was only shot 1 time in the stomach.I will update when I find out more."
