“Basically, his team had decided to take him to just some random hospital here in Las Vegas instead of picking up the phone and calling our doctor and calling Brianna [Mattison], who runs all the medicals. They went rogue and went out and did their own thing. Had they done this thing the right way, the fight probably could have been saved.”
Taking to FOX, following yesterday’s hectic weigh-ins situation with Khabib Nurmagomedov, UFC president Dana White discussed why the UFC 209 co-main event was eventually pulled entirely from the card. But, shockingly the UFC boss says it didn’t have to end the way it did.
According to White’s comments, Khabib’s team all but sabotaged any potential of making the fight work.
Bummer, right?
