Does the UFC get to demand when fighters fight?
Even when they are sick? Physically or mentally? Isn't mental illness a big problem in the US (depression, PTSD, etc)? Isn't mental illness the real problem (not Guns!) in the US?
Conor is taking time off.
Ronda took a year off.
Cyborg is physically drained and depressed.
Whatever the reason, why don't fighters get to decide when they feel ready to fight without being publicly condemned? Or are they not free people anymore?
Or is mental illness still not taken seriously? Hurt your knee and it is understandable. Hurt your brain and it isn't?
