The UFC is starting to get ridiculous with fighters pulling out of fights because they aren't 100% going into a fight. Khamzat pulling out with food poisoning over a week before the fight, which he easily could have recovered from. McGregor pulling out because of a broken pinkie toe, which you can easily just tape it up and fight and deal with it later. Ortega pulling out because he probably felt drained after the weight cut and knew he wasn't 100%.

This is unacceptable. These people should be fined their purse at least for pulling out. So not only do they get not get paid, but now they have to pay a fine for a weak pullout game. Enough is enough.

Instead of paying these guys peanuts, the UFC could make them pay to fight!
 
Is normal when you offer fighters health insurance during training camps
 
No I don’t think they should! Pay them more and offer them insurance and a retirement plan and then we can fine them.

More people should be talking about Connie pulling out with a sore pinky toe and the champ from the replacement fight having 2 broken toes.

Absolutely bitch move from Connie.
 
They need to get those Yakuza guys that were the silent partners for PRIDE to start running this shit.

I agree that's the most egregious.

I mean god damn, hockey players in the Stanley Cup finals play a full game every 2 days for weeks, and often do it with pretty significant injuries. Some of them play with a broken foot.

McGregor could have taped his toe up for a couple weeks to train and fight, and then dealt with it afterwards.
 
depends on what they pull out for. like if someone's mom dies is different than somebody just being lazy on their diet.
