MMANytt<\/a>. \u201cHe cut the weight and I said \u2018don\u2019t even worry about stepping on the scale, we\u2019re going to walk down and we\u2019re going to be on weight.’ So we got him out of the tub, dried him off, gave him a minute and we had plenty of time to go. We got suited up and we were literally walking down the hallway, the elevator doors opened and he collapsed.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cIt was an awful situation to see,\u201d Nicksick added. \u201cHe\u2019s one of my best friends and we were kinda\u00a0 sitting there thinking like, what if this is it? What happens if this guy doesn\u2019t make it?<\/p>\n
\u201cHe didn\u2019t really have a pulse. When you felt for a pulse it was kind of thready. It was an awful situation and he wasn\u2019t really responsive to anyone. The paramedics came and they dropped IVs in him. It was a traumatic experience to see.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hall is now scheduled to fight Paulo Costa on April 14, which means another cut to middleweight. While Nicksick admits he’s surprised Hall is fighting again so soon, he’s optimistic that the cut will go down without a hitch this time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was surprised, I didn\u2019t expect to be fighting so soon,\u201d Nicksick admitted. \u201cI really didn\u2019t expect us to be fighting so soon.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt looks like to me with all the medicals that came back that he\u2019s going to be fine. I\u2019ve literally never seen anything like that. I don\u2019t know what happened. Hopefully it\u2019s fixed so it won\u2019t rear it\u2019s head again, but I\u2019m surprised we\u2019re fighting again so soon. I\u2019m glad we\u2019re fighting though. It\u2019s one of those things where it\u2019s like let\u2019s just get back on the horse and go.\u201d
