Wow, so many injuries so close to the deadline are very damaging to the event itself. It's a shame this is happening. They should get tougher with these fighters soon to avoid this, as it directly impacts Dana's pocketbook.
Please write down what's going on, it will be better for everyone because right now I have no idea about these injuries and I have to do some search. No remarks, I'm simply saying, then the discussion will be much better.
Guys, what do you think Arman Tsarukyan VS Islam Makchave accident? DC had an interview with Paddy and they were talking about
posh boy Arman. Why did Arman fail? I can't believe that this guy couldn't make a weight for the title fight. Also, every doctor was telling him that his back pain was normal and he didn't have to worry about this. There are some rumors that Arman was a huge threat for Islam because of their first experience and he got paid to not fight Islam for the title. This is not my opinion, some people say this but I would love to hear your opinions.
Seems that @Pumared nailed all the injury updates in the above post except for Austin Bashi. His fights still going through just with John Yannis as the replacement instead.
As with the weigh-ins, only Rafael Estevam missed weight by coming in at 130 instead of 126 the rest are cleared to fight ahead of schedule.

As for your second question. I had not heard of any accident with Arman and Islam. Can you elaborate on this because I think many would be interested in this subject.
Tsarukyan pulled out of main event he was scheduled to fight in several months ago due to an injury. But they somehow explained it as a coverup due to weight cutting issues. This is what you mean?
Anyways, might place a few single bets on this upcoming fight night so best of luck to all who will be doing the same.
