VANCOUVER – UFC light heavyweight Jim Crute said he’s never taken more than one week off from training in the three years he’s been a pro MMA fighter. So when he didn’t immediately get his third UFC booking, he didn’t quite know what to do with himself. “I was like, ‘Ah, this is so boring,’” Crute told MMA Junkie before a pivotal fight against Misha Cirkunov at UFC on ESPN+ 16, which takes place Saturday at Rogers Center. “It was like, put me in.” To be clear, the Aussie native had asked for time off after his previous bout. Apparently, he didn’t know what he was getting himself into.
