Geez, this is beyond ridiculous at this point with the UFC. Not sure what/if they can really do anything about it, but its really hurting the sport IMO

Totally agree ... its killing the sport.

I couldn't imagine completing an entire training camp and then find out 48 hours before fight that its not happening.

I think a lot of these fighters getting "sick" is all bullshit ... I think they don't feel they are prepared enough or had a bad weight cut and need an excuse to bail out.

I agree. You look back 5-6 years ago, this shit rarely ever happened, and when it did, it was usually a few weeks out from the fight from a broken hand, or something like that.

now its happening every month closer and closer to the fight.
