The New York Athletic Commission is developing something of a reputation for being an industry leader in fighter restrictions. From things as potentially justifiable as concerns over Rashad Evans’ MRIs, down to things as weird as suspending a fighter for jumping out of the cage after a win, UFC events in the Empire State seem to come with a certain amount of bureaucratic mystery attached.
And the latest fighter to feel the weight of their regulation? UFC heavyweight Luis Henrique.
“KLB” as he is also known, was preparing to face Marcin Tybura at UFC 208 this Saturday, February 11th in Brooklyn, New York.
