[Weckum]

Fffuuuuuuuck, I was looking forward to this fight more than the main event.

 

[iddqd]

Lame, this card already had a terrible undercard.
What is left now? A rematch and Mark Hunt / Reem?

 

[PaulKersey]

Well, my Saturday night is back to being open.

 

[Syder]

UFC - I expect nothing and I'm still let down.

[zewone]

I never want to hear Khabib talk about deserving a title shot again.

Champ Champ laughing all the way to the bank.

 

[broz0rs]

another example of not being able to have good things in life

 

[TheChits]

This was my most anticipated fight in quite some time. What a shame

 

[alpinestars1980]

I don't even drink and feel like getting super drunk.

 

[Mrstriker09]

Conor will NEVER fight that guy now, Shameful, i feel sorry for Tony and people who has tickets.

 

[SoundLad]

God damnit

Hope Khabib is ok but that really sucks, would have been an amazing fight

Chances of getting a replacement for Tony?

[N° 2048]

lol welp, not paying for that card.

 

[Mrstriker09]

Conor is laughing his Ass off right now I bet.

 

[Brerlappin]

Ah for fucks sake

 

[Levito]

How disappointing.

 

[BadAss2961]

Saw the headline and hoped it was a joke. What a disappointment.

This was the hypest matchup in awhile.

 

[RK9039]

Cool, not staying up for this shit then.

 

[Maklershed]

Welp :/

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I hope Khabib is okay but he needs to stfu about dudes ducking him when he can't even make it to the octagon in one piece:

 

[zewone]

What about a catch weight bout where only Tony can win the belt like Holloway/Pettis?

Come on.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

What about a catch weight bout where only Tony can win the belt like Holloway/Pettis?

Come on.

If Khabib was in the hospital today its probably not safe for him to fight at all.

 

[Chumley]

Now Khabib isn't allowed to talk all that big game about people ducking him.

 

[zewone]

Is this the second or third time this match up has been cancelled.

Send Khabib to 170

 

[Weckum]

Is this the second or third time this match up has been cancelled.

Send Khabib to 170

Third time. First time Khabib pulled out because of injury, second time El Cucuy pulled out because of injury. Now this shit.

 

[-MD-]

Sigh.

 

[Yaari]

Lol. Wtf. I'm gone a few hours and this fight is off. MMA is great. Wow.

 

[N° 2048]

Something pissed off the MMA Gods

 

[Fitts]

Just got the news. Fuck everything.

 

[Syder]

I got so many snacks and drinks in for tomorrow night...

Something pissed off the MMA Gods

UFC did when they booked that GSP/Bisping trash

 

[Brerlappin]

Michael Johnson possibly stepping in as a late replacement

 

[Syder]

Michael Johnson possibly stepping in as a late replacement

but the weigh-in has already happened, isn't it too late?

 

[Bits N Pieces]

How do you get admitted to hospital due to weight management medical issues?

What does that actually mean?

 

[Ryck]

Fffuuuuuuuck, I was looking forward to this fight more than the main event.

This was my most anticipated fight in quite some time. What a shame

Just got the news. Fuck everything.

All of this, fuck Im disappointed. If it weren't for the fact that I am watching it with all my closest fight buddies I might not even bother.

How do you get admitted to hospital due to weight management medical issues?

What does that actually mean?

He was dehydrated.

 

[zewone]

Dangerously dehydrated from trying to make the weight.

Khabib says he cuts 37lbs during fight week.

I'm sorry, but that's fucking stupid. Either walk around lighter or change weight classes.

God knows. Apparently they're waiting on Tony's response to the matchup

Jesus. That should be a crime.

Dumb as fuck. He was asking for this.

 

[juliushandle]

Hahaha, AKA guys have pulled out of every fight in the last yr or so. Hilarious.

Khabib should officially get an L for this and Tony should become the interim Champion by default.

 

[juliushandle]

GSP Bisping press conference is live and great. Bisping looks drunk.

 

[SteveWD40]

GSP Bisping press conference is live and great. Bisping looks drunk.

He just called GSP a "fucking lizard", he is on form at least, GSP doesn't have a club in his bag for verbals with Mike.
