    Wrong way to treat fighters in a lot of different ways. This is a combat sport where lots of training and effort go into matchups. Hope nobody gets injured. When you sign the contract then make weight and show up. Asking a guy to switch to a different weight at the last minute and then change your opponent at the last second is a big ask for a fight. This isn't a tennis match.

      @@ibeaner18 unfortunately I’m talking about DraftKings fantasy. They’re scumbags when it comes to situations like this, so they just canceled the fight picks. So whoever has Ortega or Lopes in their lineup automatically gets 0 points. When they could just simply replace Ortega for Ige and allow Lopes to still get points since he’s fighting Ige. Simple fix that those scumbags won’t even do.

    All of the cancellations, rescheduling, and last minute changes lately has me very disappointed in the UFC. This is not just something that “always happens in the fight business”. Until I see the trend reverse, I will not buy any PPVs going forward, nor will I be buying any tickets to events. Too much baiting and switching going on for my taste - and this is coming from a 20+ year loyal UFC fan.

    Most people will never understand the nerves you get when you fight. But to do it infront of millions of people, while the other man has been in hard training ready for this exact day, and you fill in on 4 hours notice? Absolute savage. A fan for life here.

    Ortega looked lazy and completely checked out of interviews, didn't make weight, very unprofessional. He never intended to fight tonight.
