That's exactly what would have happened, but it doesn't discount the regret of letting him fight at a serious disadvantage. Remember, Sage was winning, so he still does look amazing in this light."This fucking kid, let me tell you something. 2 days before the fight, he gets strep throat. So fucking bad we have to take him to the hospital. And he still goes out there and beats Bryan Barberino who's a tough fucking guy. This kid is fucking insane, a future star."
Rockhold looked nothing like his usual self against Weidman and claimed he was sick. I believe Rockhold. You don't think fighters try and fight when sick sometimes?
I've been to these also doctor checks your blood pressure, temp and other fast tests. Their have been fighters that have been taken off of fight cards by the doctor in attendance 2-3 hours before fight time. Yes fighters hide stuff and pass the exam but to say they only ask questions before fight time is BS.
BOOOOOMIn hindsight Dana White would have made UFC 193 Ronda Rousey vs Meisha Tate III.
