Saturday's UFC Fight Night bout between Gilbert Burns and Olivier Aubin-Mercier has been removed from the card at Amway Center in Orlando. Upon his arrival, the UFC medical team determined that it would be unsafe for Burns to cut additional weight necessary to meet the 156-pound limit. The card will proceed as scheduled with twelve fights.

He must have been pretty fucked up or heavy for the UFC to stop his cut 2 days out from the weigh in.

UFC is dying, huge hit to the card.


but nah i like mercier.

 

[Goatenstein]

The highest of level of any other sport has men worthy of respect. This guy can't juice anymore so he plans to pay money to have a cheating size advantage.

[DarkneT]

They have to cut it out with these weekly bullshit fight night cards man I can barely remember what fight is on what card now. I would've been looking forward to this fight and would have been disappointed it was off had I actually remembered it was happening until just now

Too bad it was a good fight!

Burns on his way to WW?
