Why is he an idiot? As long as people all test negative before getting on a private plane, what harm is there? He is just the first willing to spend money to get it done.

Thug Rose pulled out. Hopefully more fighters follow.

I was thinking the same thing. Lyman Good is also out with an "injury".

But like Wimbledon today, it has to do more with the people involved being stuck in their home countries and the prestige of the event being more important than continuity. I forgot that it's unlikely that people can even exit their state, even on "work" ventures.
Wimbledon was likely cancelled because the payout from their pandemic insurance is 9-digits, lol.
They've been paying $2M a year for 17 years. They'll be getting $141M for shutting down this years tournament:

Re: MMA Off-Topic

That was terrible reffing and cornering ... someone should be banned for a while.

Teixeira didn't even want to keep hitting him after his teeth came out. He actually said sorry to Smith in the 3rd. UFC really needs to ban his corner for allowing that to continue.

Re: MMA Off-Topic

I don't know how many of you subscribe to The Athletic, but they've really done MMA fans dirty over the past couple of months. A while back they canceled several podcasts including "Gross Point Blank" with Josh Gross. I thought he did an amazing job with that and I was upset to see it go.

Now the Coronavirus pandemic has brought layoffs to their organization. Josh Gross was completely let go this time, along with Chuck Mindenhall, Chad Dundas, and numerous others who cover different sports.

The MMA team lost some solid writers, and now, with the cancellation of "Man and the Mith", there are no MMA podcasts at all. The Athletic is a good app, but I signed up primarily to support the MMA content. A lot of my favorite things about it have been taken away. Tough times.
