Eimantas Stanionis v Vergil Ortiz July 8th 2023

postponed again. vergil out with a medical issue

[Spicoli]

Ortiz struck with Rhabdomyolysis flare up again as he was this time last year. Not sure if it's the weight cutting making it more probable but clearly a lifelong ailment putting his future in and out of the ring in total jeopardy. Really a shame for both fighters involved and loss of one of the few big serious fights 147 is offering.

blair cobbs has put his hand up to step in as a replacement

sounds like this might be rescheduled for july eighth

Sounds like a hopeful best case scenario date. But have to wonder when he at least attempts moving up? He's going to retain the mindset and driven training norms but not sure weight benefits or risks with condition.

Stanionis is no push over
If Ortiz is anything less than 100% coming in it could be a rough night for him

sounds like this might be rescheduled for july eighth

I'm excited for this one

[Spicoli]

Think we have to conclude that this match up is snake bitten. Called off yet again as Ortiz falls ill and back in hospital. At this point not sure moving up to 154 will resolve his serious condition. Time to move on for Stanionis who has also torn thru 3 separate camps himself with nothing to show. Real disappointment all around.
