A note to Fight Freaks Unite readers: I created Fight Freaks Unite in January 2021 and eight months later it also became available for paid subscriptions for additional content — and as a way to help keep this newsletter going and for readers to support independent journalism. If you haven’t upgraded to a paid subscription please consider it. If you have already, I truly appreciate it! Also, consider a gift subscription for the Fight Freak in your life.
Note: If you’re a subscriber and click the headline in the schedule email you receive each Tuesday it will bring you to the Fight Freaks Unite schedule page. This page is updated daily until the new email goes out the following week.

I can’t believe Tom Loeffler turned his back on a DAZN Main Event level Boots/Bohachuk fight offer, for a YouTube prelims. Damn near dereliction of fiduciary responsibility. Loeffler always plays the nice guy. But I’ve always thought it was BS. Anything to stay attached to Dana White’s financial teat, I suppose.
