I think bets should be void and the fighter should be penalised for stepping into the cage ill tbh, its not right, UFC can deal with any evenutally, if a fighter gets into a cage less than 100% and some thing terrible happens, then there are issue..big issues like corporate manslaughter charges.
Very small bet here on a fighter that headed into the 5th round, with "two a peice" and more aggressive etc winning the 5th, but never mind all that. A fighter when he steps up to that guy that pats you down and checks for broken bones and so on, he should very clearly have to ask the fighter, ARE YOU 100% AND FREE OF ANY ILLNESS THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF.
Isnt it?
What happens if you put 10k on Max Holloway or Brian Ortega, who ever, what ever, but point is post event they come back either dirrectly in the cage or at press conference and say sleeply, oh yeah you know for for the last 48 hours I have had serious diarrhea, I have been vomitting, I have been passing out, I have been dizzy, I have not been knowing where I am or who people are.
You cant say that after the event, thats wrong, its not illegal but its totally out of line.
Let me put it this way, would JimGunn have shipped money on Cowboy if he knew Cowboy was totally ***;ed not even able to get out of bed or wanting to just hours before the event.
This is invaild bet and it realy shows up UFC as a terrible host, this impacts their brand name, this is like saying oh yeah Nike make the best most cool trainers in the world but they are from sweat shops in "insert 3rd world nation here" and 8 to 12 years old are suffering or some thing.
You see my point, also behond a putter making a complain about losing money what ever that amount is from $2, to $20k the most important thing really is the fighters well being,
This is a tremendiously dangerious sport, you can get elbowed or kicked the wrong way and you at the very least are going into a coma, right, you can die in the cage.
Im pretty surprised about this from UFC, this is obviously wrong, the fact it is the ME or a warm up fight means nothing.
UFC are mafia and fighters are in great fear of doing terrible damage to their ability to fight again by reporting accurately the true state of affairs regarding their ability to fight. We are VERY LUCKY to have cowboy come forward here and highlight this by his innocent reporting of the actual state of affairs here we can see a huge issue and if we watch the media or mma forums few will talk about it, this point of corporate governance.
Lets not have this conversation post a major UFC event when some one is in really terrible condition in hospital because a fighters team did not do what was required!!!!!!!!!!!!
The UFC pre event people didnt do their job!!!!!!!!!!
The fighters doctor didn't do their job.
Really shocking, I am bemused and also possible out of pocket which is secondary, the main point is this is totally unacceptable.
You get into the cage in the condition of your life all time best in all regards else you are causing a lot of issue for a lot of people, possibly even the distress of the community need to learn of your passing because you took a blow you originally would not been exposed to with that velocity and angle or what ever.
If any one from UFC is reading this, can you go and speak to some one and find out wtf you guys are doing over there please, right is right, fight fans are trusting in UFC to deliver in all regards else close up shop if you cant manage your responsibility and policys, you need to be compliant to H&S (health and safety).
Edit: It is not enough to say oh the fighter didn't tell us, you are there to KNOW, if he doesn't tell you and you find out post event then its the same as Paul daily, you are OUT.
