The UFC has observed its fair share of incidents over the last few years. While the others, just like the one to Alexander Gustafsson, have come darn near fight night, many of these accidents have come with sufficient time to spare before the event. The Gustafsson injury is just a hot topic among MMA fans today, and they can be blamed by who? When you go from excited to a session that may have title-shot effects to one that you have to do some deep digging to learn anything at all concerning the fighter, tongues are likely to wag. And thatas the specific situation we find ourselves in here. Gustafsson is out of Saturdayas UFC on Fuel 9 top level against Gegard Mousasi, and the virtually as yet not known Ilir Latifi is in, according to MMAJunkie.com. The reason that Gustafsson is going is simple: The Swedish MMA Federation ruled that the slice the fighter suffered while instruction would not allow him to be removed for the struggle and ruled him ineligible to compete on Saturday. In walked Latifi on short notice. Fighting being MMA, things should never be that easy. On the April 2 version of Fuel TVas UFC Tonight, hosts Kenny Florian and Rashad Evans were discussing when the issue grew up if Gustafsson made the right phone by speaking with the SMMAF the incident. Evans replied: You desire to make certain you're the best that you can be going into the cage, but I am talking about, whenever you fight, in any case may be, you've three stitches. You donat have to tell the commission about any of it, youare volunteering data that you shouldnat be. I know folks that had stitches going into it and as long prior to the fight then theyare ready to go as they make it past the actual on Friday, but I suggest, three stitches? AMaybe itas further or worse than it appears and he wouldnat have now been in a position to fight. I donat know. via facebook In short, Evans was saying throw the dice and a cure for the best. I do believe this really is dangerous and careless assistance coming from a former UFC winner. Gustafssonas cut wasnat one particular nagging little accidents that virtually every fighter has going into a was a on his face that needed medical awareness of be closed. To believe that the doctors wouldnat recognize some fresh, raw scar tissue on Gustafssonas brow and inquire about it is unreasonable. Thereas no way a reliable medical practitioner doesnat look at that, question it and seriously debate whether or not to let the fight continue, by where in actuality the injury was. The best-case scenario is that Gustafsson fight and may passes the actual, and everyone breathes a of relief, but imagine if the best-case scenario doesn't perform out? What if Gustafsson had rolled the dice and got caught, and the battle is then ended the day before the event? Does the UFC have a backup plan? Nope, since essentially no-one knew he was hiding a possibly fight-ending injury. Does the UFC let Gustafsson slip with a ahey, you're wanting to do the proper point, no worriesa? Thatas uncertain. The reality is, had Gustafsson tried to get away with some thing and got caught, all responsibility would have been centered on him. Donat think thatas the situation? Ask Jon Jones about this one. Gustafsson did the right thing, he did the safe thing and no-one should question thata'especially not another fighter who knows how quick and ugly the repercussions can be if you wreak havoc on the UFC.
