MMA fans can’t have nice things. Either that, or I should accept the new normal of at least one fight per card being cancelled within 48 hours of an event taking place.
We were supposed to be getting a women’s bantamweight contest between Karol Rosa and Sijara Eubanks, a strong favorite to earn FOTN honors. Instead, Rosa’s weight cut went poorly and she ended up hospitalized. While I am disheartened to hear of Rosa’s condition and pray for a strong and full recovery, it is disappointing from a fans point of view. I’ll admit there are several other main card contests that offer a degree of satisfactory intrigue, but card headlined by a pair of plodding heavyweights tends to need as much fast-paced firepower as possible.
