Anyone else think Chimaev needs a Manager?

Well putting him on this card there would've been plenty of time to promote him and if he had to pull out the card is still solid without risking PPV issues.

Honestly, it sounded like after the last pull out the UFC really wanted to get to the bottom of his health issues. We still don't know if its a real health problem or more of lifestyle/training issue.

Definitely was NOT enough time to let him heal, prepare for another weight cut, AND promote him.
He's fighting in October. That's about the amount of time they need to plug him into the promotional calendar with all the other fighters they need to concentrate on before then.

Yeah, Umar vs. Sandhagen at UFC Abu Dhabi was always promoted as a title eliminator.

Title eliminator? Has UFC said this?
