The proposed September 12 title fight, promoted by Dana White at a UFC event, remains in limbo. Veteran journalist Dan Rafael reported the paperwork from Garcia’s camp is unfinished. The delay raises a clear question: Is this a genuine negotiation snag, or a strategic move to control the narrative?
