Assuming he can survive the “horrible” begin instances, adjusted to maintain UFC 304 on monitor with stateside clocks.
“That’s the thought, simply gonna need to be vampires for a couple of week — I don’t know what to do,” Blaydes mentioned on The MMA Hour (transcribed by MMA Information). “I don’t know what we’re gonna be doing at like one within the morning, as a result of the town’s gonna be sleeping. That half we’re nonetheless engaged on; what we’re gonna do as like, distractions. However the plan is to be vampires that week.”
Looks like the whole lot related to the Manchester card has been finished terribly.
“I’m very stunned, it’s virtually like a slight,” Blaydes continued. “Like, you guys, you don’t respect Leon and Tom sufficient to offer them a traditional title struggle scenario? I don’t suppose they’d do that to (Conor) McGregor. There’s no manner they’d do that to McGregor or (Charles) Oliveira. There are specific guys they wouldn’t do that to. I believe it’s just a bit bit disrespectful. I do know they don’t give a rattling about me, however I’m speaking about Aspinall and Leon (Edwards). You’d suppose they might have earned sufficient respect to get like, a traditional struggle week. Apparently not.”
At the very least they don’t have to fret in regards to the enviornment malfunctioning … oh wait.
