Man
He passed out on the show…now a seizure…you gotta think they’ll have a back up for him the next time he’s scheduled to fight.

Yeah, but it’s tough to have a backup for the day of the show. Gotta file this one under “stuff happens.”
oh for sure
The UFC has been known to have fighters on stand by though…i.e. Todd Duffee if Cro Cop didn’t make the UFC 99 card(event though Duffee was supposed to fight anyways)…couple of other instances that I can’t recall at the moment…

i'm screwed!
it’s too late to change. don’t know how this stuff works on fantasy leagues.
They’ll just scrap the fight. If you had cash on it you’ll get your money back, and if you had one of them in a parlay then it will just be recalculated without that fight.

just funny money
someone told me that playground would make it into a 2 fight parlay instead, which works out great. nover could have had an “episode” mid-fight, and that really could have been bad. he difinetly need some checking into. thanks for your info as well.
word
having a seizure mid-fight would have sucked on so many levels…and the mma haters would have come out in full force trying to say it was a result of doing MMA or some shit…
