Don’t worry! At the time of this being written, the main event is still on between TJ Dillashaw and Dominick Cruz for the UFC Bantamweight Championship. The replacement will be earlier on in the night on the Preliminary Card. Originally the fight was planed between Beneil Dariush and Mairbek Taisumov, but Dariush was forced to pull out due to injury. Long Island’s Chris Wade stepped up to the plate to take on Taisumov, it was short notice, but New York fighters are always ready to jump in at a moment’s notice. Now, less than a week away from the fight, we find out that Mairbek Taisumov has to back out from the fight due to visa issues. Taisumov will be replaced by TUF 22 member Mehdi “The Sultan” Baghdad. Baghdad is a strong kickboxer and Wade has an explosive mix of standup and ground game which should lead to an exciting battle. Even though both original fighters are off of this card, we are pleased to have such an exciting matchup instead. There is a good chance this fight will lead to a performance bonus, and we are putting our money on Wade to come out on top of this one! The MMA circuit in New York has been growing strong and this will be another chance for us to prove that we have the best fighters around.
