Did Strangest MMA Fight Cancellation Ever Happen at UFC Belem?

UFC fans know all too well what it feels like to lose a big fight right before an event...but fans haven't really seen anything like what just happened to Saturday night's card in Belem, Brazil.

According to reports, the co-main event bout between John Dodson and Pedro Munhoz was canceled just 24 hours before it was slated to take place. The reason? According to reports, the hotel Munhoz was working with ran out of hot water.

So what does having hot water have to do with fighting? The answer is cutting weight.

For many fighters, weight-cutting is the most difficult part of the sport.
