UFC President Dana White has officially knocked back an invitation to blow the Canberra Raiders Viking horn at Allegiant Stadium on the weekend.
The Raiders are now frantically trying to find a backup before their clash with the New Zealand Warriors to open the season in Las Vegas.

It has been an eventful trip so far for Ricky Stuart’s men with best mates Hudson Young and Morgan Smithies in the naughty books earlier in the week when they were caught wrestling in an elevator after a hotel error left one of them without a room.

Canberra also intended to use the rooftop swimming pool at their hotel for rehab but soon realised it was double booked when they arrived to a grog-fuelled pool party.
The Raiders and Warriors kick-off the season this Sunday (Sydney time) at 11am.
