Stuff like this is why boxing is rapidly losing ground to UFC.

Something like this could happen in UFC, and it does, but the difference is the UFC would have a stacked undercard and they’d immediately mandate somebody else to step in and take the fight, who was ever bit as good as Stanionis, and the show goes on. We may still get an Ortiz fight, but if we do it’ll be guaranteed against some jobber in a stay busy affair.
