[Wild]

The Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) stands by its decision, based on doctors’ input, to allow Kevin Lee to fight at UFC 216.

NAC executive director Bob Bennett told MMA Fighting on Sunday that Lee was cleared to fight Tony Ferguson in the main event Saturday night in Las Vegas from a health and safety standpoint by two commission doctors.

“My lead ringside physician found Lee medically fit to fight,” Bennett said. “He was examined by our lead ringside physician, along with another ringside physician. Both felt he was medically fit to fight.”

You can clearly see the staph on his chest at weigh ins. According to Kevin, he tried to hide it but I can't believe no one noticed that. I think they likely saw it and just ignored it so he could fight.

Absolutely
They did not need any more drama with this card

If Tony gets MRSA from this he should sue Lee and Nevada.

I was watching that show called kingdom and a sub character gets staph on that and they have to close down the gym and disinfect the mats etc.

I would think so. Tony deserves a £100,000 bonus for fighting a deadly infected opponent

If I was him I'd be looking for a shit ton more than that for loss of earnings. If I got staph or course and it was down to this.

Connor earning so much vs Floyd would be my argument.

I'd want a lot of money from UFC and nsac for hurting my earning potential.

If they asked me to fight him I would have made a smudge face and Dana would have offered me more money

Tony is a bit weird tho. Probably didn't think about that. I'd have waited until ten minutes before walk out and grilled the fuckers

It would never pass any other health and safety regulations.....how do they justify letting it happen?
