    Yeah, BJ Flores failed the test and got pulled last week for his fight against Wallin, apparently it was something that showed up in every one of his MRI's his whole career, but the Washington Commission wouldn't allow it. I just pulled his statement about it off of his Instagram to shed some light on the commissions and such.

    "I had a clear MRI, clear CT scan, Clear EEG. The state of Washington required an MRI within 1 year. I was shot with a bb gun at 8 years old. Mike Keys ���� Every other state over my entire career has taken the MRI with the BB and seen that everything was fine. Washington wouldn’t accept it, even tho multiple nueroligists from all over the country had cleared me.
    I signed off on a waver saying no one held responsible if there was any injury. The cleared me to fight after the docs were signed.
    I went the whole day thinking the fight was on.
    When I got to the dressing room, they informed me it was off.
    Devastating. I worked so hard for this oppurtunity.
    They are working on rescheduling within the next few weeks. "


    All of that, and they're going to reschedule the fight in another state.
