Damn, this just got announced this morning?

Wouldn’t he be fighting in the next couple hours?

"There are just so many poorly chosen words in that sentence." - Michael Bluth

One of my favorite lines from the best TV show ever.

Way to show concern for the health of a fellow fighter Shawn.

Agreed

Very poor behavior by Tompkins.

This really does suck for all parties involved. I mean it’d be bad even if the fight was in the US, but all the way to Abu Dhabi and thr fight gets cancelled the morning of? Pretty shitty, hope everything is ok with Taylor.

weight cutting is the worst.

I had to deal with it in high school wrestling and it made my life miserable.

Damn Tompkins is such a dick, would he rather one of his fighters partake in a serious injury or even the death of a opponent. Hope Taylor is well soon, Gunderson should be happy, full purse and he won’t get his ass kicked!
