A series of unfortunate events beyond our control. Tried to replace the main event and even tried to do a non ppv to keep the show on. Exhausted all efforts and left no stone unturned. Sorry we were not able to say anything until now but refunds will of course be available for Manchester next week. To the fans, we are so sorry that it’s been a rocky start to 25. Determined and confident that we will more than make it up with this year’s plans. To the fighters and teams, I know what you guys go through and the disappointment of moving dates. I’m truly sorry and you know it’s out of our hands. The feeling of letting people down and not being able to fix it immediately sucks and has weighed heavily on me. I’m sorry. Misfits is still in its infancy. We're two and a half years into a decades long plan. We are so proud of what we have achieved together thus far and things will only keep improving and areas of weakness will become strengths. We will be back on May 16th in Derby and the new final fight card will be announced shortly with mega additions. The comeback will be everything and big changes will be implemented. To the one’s who have been nothing but loyal, supportive and understanding, fighters and fans, I see you and appreciate you beyond measure. Thank you. A lot of news coming so stay tuned. 🙏🏽 |url=https://x.com/MamsTaylor/status/1908182369716097126 |website=Twitter}}
