That's crazy. It is gonna go over a year and a half, at least, w/o being contested. It'll be over 2 years if they don't strip Whittaker. Hernia surgery is a 6-8 month recovery and that's before getting into a camp for a fight. He likely doesn't even fight in 2019. If he does, it'll be around November.

John232 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Still a lot of interesting fights, or at least fun fights. Devontae Smith vs Maestro will be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had 3 hernias since 2015 and the recovery time is about 2 months. Obviously I'm not a fighter though and I'm not getting hit in the abdomen.

Buckrock101 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 What news to wake up to... lol. Awful situation for everyone involved, and sounds like it's just terrible luck with the timing. Too late to get a replacement in there, otherwise there would have been plenty of options. Now Whittaker's had to pull out both times he was supposed to defend in Australia. Feel so bad for him. I love Rob, but they gotta make an interim title fight at least. I wouldn't even argue if they stripped him. This is an exciting division, and it needs to start moving forward. Gastelum vs winner of Adesanya/Silva, hopefully sometime soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he may be ready to fight in June... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckrock101 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 boy this card is next-level weak. we've got this De La Rosa-Kassem fight on PPV for some reason, Rani Yahya and Sam Alvey on the main card, and Dominick Cruz as the main color guy. they should've just renamed the card next week as a numbered card 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John232 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Guess Ishihara had to die before the ref checked. Ridiculous stoppage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckrock101 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 They should have Anik call the fights by himself. You'd never know something exciting is happening by listening to Cruz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom and Felder are great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's the furthest from a hype man, which is what Joe is great at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John232 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Honestly, been entertaining so far. Paiva looked good. Made adjustments. Head movement gonna be an issue though. Gonna get slapped around when someone tries to combo on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
