White also stated in a separate interview with FS1 that had Nurmagomedov’s team contacted the UFC doctors rather than just going to the hospital when he was feeling ill that there’s a chance the fight could have been salvaged.
“They hit me at 4 in the morning and my reaction was this fight’s over, I’m going back to sleep. I didn’t want to be up at 4 in the morning sick, then when I got up later and I was driving down Sahara, I was suicidal. Not a good day for me,” White said.
“Basically, his team had decided to take him to just some random hospital here in Las Vegas instead of picking up the phone and calling our doctor and calling Brianna [Mattison], who runs all the medicals,” White said. “They went rogue and went out and did their own thing. Had they done this thing the right way, the fight probably could have been saved."
That's exactly what I posted in the last thread that some disagreed with me about: once you go to the hospital (or an outside doctor apparently) - the fight's over.
I wonder if Dana would have tried hooking them up with one of those "legal" "exemption" IV bags that they tried getting Ian McCall back on track with in his last fight....
Wonderboy's dad just wiped off some **** off Tyron's face. Dad's doing dad **** all day long. Love it.
Also, 4 rounds of nothing with 1 round of winning. Tyron deserves the nod. **** the crowd. Jesus, I hate MMA fans. I mean, the fight did suck, but if you boo **** you.
Garbage fight. Had it 48-47 Wonderboy, could see 47-47. Can't be too angry about Woodley winning since so little happened in the earlier rounds, but still surprised two judges found a way to give him three rounds.
