While the news was bad enough on its own merits, it came with its own accompanying baggage: backlash. The phenomenon is nothing new, but it remains as puzzling as ever. Do these men and women who get in a cage and fight for a living really have anything to prove about their courage?
On one hand, it's easy to understand why the sport's followers would be disappointed when fighters are forced out of action. In the event when an entire match is canceled -- as in the instance of Edgar-Maynard -- it's even clearer. We always hope for the best fights, and are disappointed when they don't happen. But on the other, the accusations that are casually lobbed at fighters afterward are often over the line and border on downright hysteria.
