Over at Bloody Elbow I pointed out that the Mark Miller v. Deray Davis was canceled right before the fighters went out. The reason for cancellation? Lack of time. Here are my thoughts from the Bloody Elbow article:
As impressed as I was overall by how smoothly things seemed to run from the Strikeforce side, how the hell does this happen? Two hometown guys have been put through a training camp, all the mental and physical preparation, the weight cut only to be told seconds before walking out to the cage that the fight is canceled. It’s a massive ball drop, especially considering that the Jeff Curran / Dustin Neace and Marloes Coenen / Roxanne Modafferi fights both ended in under three minutes. It isn’t as though every fight went to the judges and time just became completely unavailable.
