“I am making a statement and will stand with my fellow fighters Nick Diaz, and Henry Cejudo and refuse to fight in Nevada while this draconian and arbitrary punishment against Nick is in place,” Smith stated.
Leslie also states that this situation just shows how fighters should have a united front and suggested an MMA fighter’s association to deal with things and decisions that affect them as a whole.”This situation is just the latest example demonstrating the need for mixed martial artists to stand together,” Smith continued. “To influence our sport, and have our voices heard by speaking together as the mixed martial arts fighters association.”While many have voiced out against the decision, these handful of fighters are trying to make a bigger impact by not having Nevada benefit and earn from their fights. Will this lead to the bigger stars in the sport to take a similar stance as well?
