Morning Report | Henry Cejudo: ‘The PFL is finished’ if they don’t re-sign Usman Nurmagomedov

A prime Mike Tyson was preparing for his bout with Frank Bruno. He was at an exclusive health club in Las Vegas riding a stationary bike with his hangers-on all about. There were at least 2,000 cardio machines and Mike was at the front. There being no signs saying private workout or no ropes cordoning off the area, I joined Mike.
I went to the very last row and did 30 minutes of stationary bike riding. Completed the ride and headed to the locker room to shower and change. While sitting on the bench tying my shoes, in walks Iron Mike, standing 10 feet away. He was covered in sweat and just stood glaring at me. I looked up at him and quickly returned to tying my shoes. It was difficult to get them tight since all the blood left my extremities and pooled around my now throbbing heart. We were the only ones in the locker room and we were both deciding how long I had to live. After 20 seconds he turned and left. I gathered my things and found an alternative exit, briskly walking barefoot to my car.
Lesson learned, give the Baddest Men on the Planet their space.

Aspinall's Octagon return will have to wait.
Eddie Hearn recently hinted that the
Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight titleholder isn't
ready to return to action yet. Hearn claims that Aspinall is still
not medically cleared to compete after suffering an eye injury in
his last bout against Ciryl
Gane.
Eddie Hearn says Tom Aspinall is not medically cleared to fight
after his Ciryl Gane bout
While Aspinall still isn’t cleared to return to action, the head of
Matchroom Boxing assured fans that he is “motivated†and eager to
return as soon as he is permitted.
“The only thing that we have to look at is when Tom Aspinall will
be ready to return,†Hearn said in a recent press scrum captured by
Bloody Elbow. “And that's not from a mindset perspective; that's
from a commission perspective in terms of his injury. And that
shows you what he has been through because if the commission won't
let him fight, you know how serious the injuries were… He's
motivated. I can't give you an exact date you but what I can tell
you is he wants to get back in there as soon as he is physically
able to do so.â€
Aspinall (15-3) put his heavyweight title on the line against Gane
last October. The fight ended in a no-contest in the opening round
after Aspinall was rendered unable to continue due to a double eye
poke by Gane.
Aspinall subsequently had a falling-out with the UFC, claiming
Dana
White downplayed his eye injury. The Englishman has since
undergone multiple eye procedures and assures that he is recovering
well.
