It seems to happen all the time, you get injuries in Boxing, but the frequency of these last minute pull outs in the UFC is mad.
There’s a difference being injured during a camp and being injured or pulling out the week of the bout.
A lot of fight week MMA pull outs are because of the drastic and stupid weight cutting. Dehydration causes dizziness and falls etc. I’m aware that boxers cut weight to, but you never hear analysts and commentators talking about it as much because it’s not drastic to the point of near death.
