Ryan McGillivray's Broken Nose Explains Why We've Had So Many Fight Cancelations Lately
Personally, I think it’s just a coincidence. There are more websites than ever covering the sport so each fight rumor and injury is reported and tweeted non-stop. A few years ago we probably would have missed the news when a fight from an undercard would get scratched.
Take former TUF 13 castmember, Ryan McGillivray’s nose for example. McGillivray (11-5-1, 0-1 UFC) doesn’t have a fight coming up in the UFC or any other promotion based on anything I’ve heard. Yet here he is with a smashed nose courtesy of the knee of one of his teammates. McGillivray is heading home to have surgery today. So if he were scheduled to fight, he would have to cancel. Injuries have always been a part of the sport, I just think we pay more attention now that we’re writing everything down.
