Ben Rothwell accuses Cain Velasquez of using media to pull out of UFC 207

CAIN VELASQUEZ WAS PULLED out from the UFC 207 card after the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) ruled him medically unfit to compete. Cain was supposed to face Fabricio Werdum at the pay-per-view but was vocal about how he was struggling with injuries.

UFC Heavyweight Ben Rothwell has said that Cain used MMA media to pull out from the card. Below is what Rothwell said during an interview with Flo Combat.

"People are also surprised Cain got pulled and that baffles me because it's not surprising at all. He started saying all that sh*t in public knowing he's going to get pulled. Telling the commission you're doing marijuana to manage pain and your back surgery is already scheduled is a surefire way to tell them you're not fit to fight. But that's pretty convenient because now it doesn't look like Cain pulled out and it's the commission who wouldn't let him fight. Cain going public with all that sh*t two weeks before a fight is evidence he didn't want to fight. Don't sit there and tell me you've been in this business for that many years and don't f*****g know how this works. You obviously needed them to pull you out of the fight."

Werdum was also pulled from the UFC 207 card and he has now called for a rematch with champion Stipe Miocic.
