Zak Cummings (21-5) was due to face Thiago Alves at UFC Fight Night: Stephens Vs. Choi in January. The welterweight TUF alum was thrilled to be fighting in his backyard of St. Louis, MO and to have a crack at a well-known fighter on the downswing. However, fate had other ideas.
Days before the event, Cummings was taken out of action... by a bath tub.
“Man, it was a pretty sh**ty situation,” said Cummings to Bloody Elbow as he recounted the bizarre incident. Cummings explained that leading up to his final few weight cutting sessions, everything in camp was going great.
