UFC Atlantic City medical suspensions: 10 fighters out indefinitely, including Edson Barboza

[Wild]

While it definitely had its moments, the UFC’s trip to Atlantic City didn’t come across as an overly violent card overall. Six of the eleven fights went to decision, and some of them were pretty dull. But as mentioned, there were a few brutal segments - particularly at the hands of Siyar Bahadurzada, Dan Hooker, and the main event combatants.

I wonder if there's any reality to the idea that some fighters refuse to fight in certain localz due to the commissions who govern them.

Also wonder if there's any reality to fighters who might not fight in a certain place due to the particular rule set they have in place. Thinking specifically about the difference between the new supposed "unified rules" compared to the old rules. Have you heard of anything like that @FrankieNYC ? I have not... but I couldn't imagine that it's something that no one thinks about or even negotiates around. Especially more established & successful fighters. There's a lot more at stake & so it seems like a valid concern.

Allowing instant replay would be a top concern of mine. It's so f*cked when a ref is not allowed to take into account this modern technological advantage. So these fighters who put it all on the line get f*cked because the ref saw it wrong.

Edison was winning. He clearly was using his skull to break Lee's hands.
