Here is an email we received from Linda earlier today
.
Hi Joe, Thank you for asking. Hope you are enjoying the sun. We earned it!We have moved the show to July 23rd due to overwhelming fighter injuries.Same location, new date!It’s not possible to obtain last minute replacements anymore with the commission regulations.A week or two notice is adequate, but a day or two just won’t cut it.Plus, fighters still wait until the due date to get their medicals, if you can believe it.People will draw their own conclusion regardless of our statements.

Well Linda we wish you all the best in the near future. Hopefully more fighters will see this and understand how strict the guidelines are as set by the MSAC and enforced by the promoters.
