How are you going to make this fucking guy fight after he almost- They had a statement? Yes. after he's cutting 30 pounds. How are you making him do that? He's cutting 30 pounds in three days. What's their statement? One speaks out. Okay, what do they say? After recent events, we feel it is necessary to provide additional context on Mikey Musumechi's withdrawal from the 168 Denver card.

Sit Yau Tong and Musumechi, set up Musumechi. Mikey was obviously put in a difficult spot when Cade Rotolo withdrew due to injury when that happened. We worked closely with him and his team on a new opponent. Competing at flyweight was something that he personally requested as he felt confident that he could make the hydrated limit of 135 pounds for a world title defense.

This is not something we pushed to him to do on short notice or would have ever demanded of a one athlete given how much we prioritize fighter safety. After Mikey failed weight and hydration tests on Thursday, he requested an opponent submission grappling contest against... Roberto Oliveira, and we continue to work with him to try to keep him on the card. Sidion Tong continued on Musumeci.

He ultimately felt it was his best interest to withdraw from the contest, and we are honoring that. This writing is uncertain when Musumeci will return to one or who will compete for the now-vacant belt. Musumeci was diagnosed with pneumomediastinum. Pneumomedia stinem. A rare condition which air leaks from a part of the lung. Oh, Jesus. Wow.

How do you fucking strip a guy when he winds up in the hospital? He didn't fight. Right, exactly. That doesn't make any sense. Imagine if Alex is fighting Khalil Roundtree and in making weight, he winds up in the hospital and the fight's canceled. He doesn't lose his belt.

That's crazy. That's what I'm saying. That's crazy.

It's nonsense. It's terrible. They're always going to fucking do it, though. Yeah, but you know what, man? I think it's a part of the culture that can be eradicated. I don't think it's impossible to eradicate it. That's like saying, oh, they can always do steroids. Well, USADA came along and they fixed that. And now drug-free sport. They fixed it. Most of these athletes are pretty clean.
