That really sucks. Do all of that work and have the fight scrapped during pre fight warm ups.
Miocic is a beast. He'll be in the Heavyweight mix pretty soon.
The WW division is alive and well. Sanchez and Ellenberger showed you can be technical without being a p**sy. I'm a fan of both of those guys from now on.
