Oh no! Dammit this was going to be the one old man Beterbiev falling apart lol. Ah well I’m sure it will get postponed a couple months.

I wonder if it's too short notice for Yarde to jump in against Bivol?

Fight will likely never happen now. Benavidez vs Bivol should be next later this year. Lets see if Bivol has the guts.

This is annoying as fvkc!!

So many fights postponed since this danm new decade. Did fighters from back then get hurt this danm often?

Torn meniscus? Isn’t the recovery from that 5-6 months? That means the fight will be postponed until early next yr at least.

NO. Fighters of old fought more often. They stayed in shape so they averted injuries like this. Fighters fight so infrequently now that their bodies get cold and their ligaments tighten (not to mention weight gain). That takes a toll on you during training.

Depends on the length of the tear. Could be 1 month, could be 6.
