We can not blame them in feeling that way, the situation right now is getting worse and the chance to get a virus even though you are wearing face mask and face shield was taken to a different level
I was expecting some fights to be cancelled in this card too but till now every thing is safe. Hats off to UFC for conducting these events in these harsh situations with many fights been cancelled at the last moment and still they are somehow finding replacements.
And Derek Brunson was doing his best and I think all his lost was really all due to some elite fighters that is why he really had the experience he needed in taking Shahbazyan that is only just starting his career.
True, the losses Derek Brunson had were against championship level fighters and he was seen as a stepping stone to reach the title fight as Robert Whittaker and Israel Adesanya fought him a defeated and then went on to win the titles in a couple of fights and Edmen Shahbazyan was also in that path but Brunson showed why he is a top level fighter.
Zabit Magomedsharipov and Yair Rodríguez was one of the most anticipated fight i was waiting to see this month after Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic trilogy unfortunately Yair Rodríguez pulled out of the event citing injury and there is no top opponent to replace.
