Titelmatchen mellan interimmästaren Tony Ferguson och #1-rankade Khabib Nurmagomedov är inställd efter att ”El Cucuy” Ferguson dragit på sig en skada. Nurmagomedov kommer istället att möta fjäderviktsmästaren Max Holloway i en kamp om lättviktsbältet, det kunde UFCs nyligen utannonsera. Inte helt oväntat så möttes nyheterna med stor skepsis och ilska, se några av de reaktioner som kommit in efter den inställda matchen och det nya mötet:

This is not an April Fool’s joke. I would never do that. This is 100% real. Ferguson-Nurmagomedov is off again.

You know what’s wild? Not only is Holloway agreeing to fight the undefeated Nurmagomedov, arguably the most dominant fighter in the sport, in 6 days, he’s doing it after suffering a serious ankle injury which forced him out of his own title fight just last month.

It’s ok. Bad day for news of this magnitude. But I’ve said it for years: I’ll never pull April Fool’s news jokes. Ever. Hate when outlets do that. If I don’t have your trust, I have nothing. https://t.co/ybPZ05YqFe

I promise you this is not an April Fool's joke. Ferguson out, Holloway in at UFC 223.

I'm told Holloway is still in Hawaii, UFC making flight arrangements being made now. Khabib already in Brooklyn, as he was scheduled for a media day. Ferguson injury happened last Thursday, MRI this weekend showed torn knee. Heartbreaking.

This is what Dana White told me about Tony Ferguson’s interim champion status. If this holds up, that’s a tough way for a six-month title reign to end. pic.twitter.com/mxfkfBUQAZ
