Dibella refuses to promote Taylor, says his health is at risk...

[skel1983]

“I informed him, as I do all my contracted fighters, that my goal was to help his secure financial stability for his family, maximize his potential, and leave our unforgiving sport with his health intact.

It is my belief that the continuation of Jermain’s career as an active fighter places him at unnecessary risk. While he is undoubtedly capable of prevailing in future bouts, I cannot, in conscience, remain involved given my assessment of such risk." - Lou Dibella


Very interesting.

This is very good news. I am glad to hear it. So where does this leave the tourney? Lucian Bute or Sakio Bika would be a nice replacement.

Taylor get's knocked out by the smallest guy in the tourney is not a good sign. Have to give Taylor credit for his heart though but his health is much more important and let's hope he understands this.

Taylor is going on without him he is fighting Ward in April.
