Jiji Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I just got a notification telling me Lineker has been pulled for "unknown reasons." God damn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Lineker was removed due to a tooth infection that he needs surgery for. However, he will be able to return to training within a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Seems like they will have to bump up a fight from the prelims to the main card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 I'm guessing it will be Elliott/De La Rosa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Sounds like Moraes and his camp were only willing to take the fight at 145 pounds. Hope UFC compensates Rivera for this. EDIT: Yeah Moraes is an idiot and a joke. You don't call someone out on a week's notice and say "fight on my terms." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Praise the Lord. No Moraes/Rivera but at least neither Khabib or Cyborg missed weight. Hopefully this is just the beginning of Cyborg at 145 and it's not too draining on her body to make weight as she gets older. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Cyborg looked pretty emaciated at the weigh-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 2 minutes ago, Ace said: Cyborg looked pretty emaciated at the weigh-in. She looked fine to me. If you want to see her emaciated, go to the first couple times she had to get to 140. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
