Owing to a wedding, UFC middleweight requests fans to provide play-by-play updates for UFC 288
UFC middleweight fighter Chris Curtis recently made an unusual request to his fans. Due to a prior commitment to attend a wedding, Curtis will be unable to watch the UFC 288 event in person. Instead, he asked his followers on social media to provide him with play-by-play updates of the fights.
UFC 288 is slated to be an electrifying event, featuring some of the most talented fighters in the world of mixed martial arts. Fans are eagerly anticipating the bantamweight championship bout between Henry Cejudo and the reigning bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling.
Meanwhile, the co-main event will feature a welterweight title eliminator fight between Gilbert Burns and Belal Muhammad. These two warriors have stepped up on short notice to take on this important bout after Charles Oliveira was forced to withdraw from his matchup with Beneil Dariush.
In light of the eagerly-awaited P.P.V. event, 'The Action Man' asked his social media followers to help keep him up-to-date on the latest developments during the event:
"Alright guys, I'll be at a wedding tonight. Who can keep me updated with a play by play for the cars tonight? Lol much appreciated."
