    It's less than a month away. They were not getting anybody too good in that amount of time.

      This used to happen in the past. Instead of waiting around they would fight even if it was not a recognizable name. They already went through training camp, people got or will get paid, a way to stay sharp and who knows if there will be another postponement.

      I have no issues with it if they want to stay active. I rather a fighter fight more than less, ring rust and inactivity does affect a fighter.

          Zinad is at least independently top 10 ranked in the division. Not the deepest division, I grant, but still better competition than other fighters have taken on with less complaints from the peanut gallery.

            Welp, this card took a massive dump. One of the most anticipated fights in a long time with a stacked undercard really doesn't look so stacked as a main event.
