This occurrence has raised some red flags for me. I am not one to typically buy into a fighter's excuses for a loss, but in this case I think it could play a bigger factor. Stiverne has said he wasn't hurt at all and I don't buy that he got wobbled a bit and should have had a knockdown counted against him as well, HOWEVER, if he was that dehydrated it could have really sapped his power, stamina, etc.

Has Bermane said why he was dehydrated? The Flu? Norovirus? If he suffered through either of those then I'd say Wilder is very lucky indeed.
