Absolutely crazy stuff, it's caused two fights to be cancelled.... ridiculous.

3 now - Chiesa vs Pettis, Borg vs Moreno and of course the Lobov fight!

I'm just glad Rose isn't too shaken up for her rematch with Jerdrzejczyk!

 

[Liquiduk]

He's gone from a borderline broke to a multi-multi millionaire in a few short years - I can't imagine many mid-20's people would be equipped to handle that sort of change! Especially as he's effectively rewarded by the UFC and the media for outrageous behaviour

This is a great point. Complete moron move though. The repercussions of having 3 fights removed off the card is stunning. What a mess... Couple of really good fights too! Can't imagine this is going to go away quietly.

The UFC will not sack him, he's absolutely huge for them.

 

[Ree]

this will cost him a few quid with being sued etc. acting like a bloody idiot he should be ashamed of himself.

 

[dannyjo22]

Should be bare knuckle fighting on a traveller site for £50. Scum bag.

 

[Maccapacca]

Ooooooooo outrage and scandal before a big event

No such thing as bad publicity

 

[esoteric]

Max didn't make weight lol. What a cluster fluff UFC 223 has become.

 

[McBain]

Oh ffs, this card was looking fantastic and now it looks a mess.

 

[Pyr0m@nI@]{]

oh no! I was looking forward to the fights this weekend

 

[Liquiduk]

Holloway out, doctors will not let him fight due to the weight cut. Talk about ruin my week...

 

[ThestigGT999]

Anthony Pettis stepping up to take on khabib??

 

[Maccapacca]

Conor might step in for the lolz

 

[Captain]

Conor might step in for the lolz

Would love to see Khabib smash him up!

 

[esoteric]

They were saying earlier they are looking for Pettis. Rumour is now that Pettis is asking for too much money.

So.. now it's speculated it's Felder v Khabib.

 

[DeanT77]

So.. now it's speculated it's Felder v Khabib.

Word is NYSAC has denied felder because of the ranking difference between the 2 fighters.

 

[planty]

What a shambles!

 

[Quinnaay]

What the actual **** gutted this event has gone to pot.

 

[McBain]

So now it looks like Khabib doesn't have an opponent? Wow.

 

[Ree]

where's cowboy he only needs about 5 mins notice

in all seriousness what a farce this has turned out to be. am guessing rose and joanna will be main event now.

 

[StevieP]

Ariel Helwani seems to be suggesting that Al Iaquinta is now the front runner to face Khabib.....but he weighted in at 155.2 so technically it can't be a title fight!?!? (for him anyway!)
