The same situation with Ancajas because he originally prepared for a title defense fight against Kazuto Ioka but was replaced last minute by Fernando Martinez and Ancajas ultimately lost the title he held for quite a long time. These instances can't be predicted because the original boxer wanted to participate in the fight but an issue surfaced later on which resulted in a need for a substitute just like this time.

This reminds me of when they wanted the fight between Canelo and GGG, that they always looked for a way to duel before the fights that they loved the most, so the fans annoyed them and rightly so, but ultimately all of that has a purpose, which is, that the business model is very broad and as I have said in previous threads, they always put money before sport with what they are living with.

The organizers want more spectacle and even so it is a very good business, because the bidders enjoy doing what they like the most and well the fans, those who also practice the sport always want more, so I do not blame them for everything that happens, in the end that generates a lot of work and they employ a lot of people, so that is something very good.

No doubt that they'll continue even if Dana White says so.

There's a huge money that's being involved and they might have been offered with an amount that's hard to decline. Just like any other athlete, when is being offered with good compensation and talent fee, they won't think twice but will grab the offer.

The Paul brothers did discovered this niche that will make them and their opponents big money.

Dana is losing contracts as more fighters actually get off from Dana's control. Nate Diaz also was to fight against Jake but of course, Dana didn't like the idea and the contract also does not allow UFC fighters to have another event involving his fighters.

Those that are under contract, they have to honor and recognize their contract with UFC. But those that are clean and good to go, they don't have to listen whatever Dana is telling them because they no longer have contracts with him.

Unfortunately, UFC fighters losing against Jake embarrasses UFC. It would mean this combat sport is not really as ULTIMATE as it may sound if that is the case.

Still, many understands that these matches aren't really that pro unlike UFC. And this is just all about having fun and entertainment while making some big money from the hype it creates.

Well there is something that many do not understand, when there is a fighter in the UFC and he goes to boxing, things can seem very similar, that is, they think that if he has been in the UFC, boxing is nothing for them, and it is not like that , people who go from the UFC to boxing may have a lot of resistance to withstand blows to their body, on the other hand in boxing they receive more blows to the face, head, torso of the body, and the legs are not used to kick than It is a very good resource in a fight, in boxing things are different, boxers tend to have more resistance, more speed in their punches and above all the strength in each punch is impressive.
