All bullshit aside, @TonyFergusonXT you have a family and I don’t wish injures in my worst enemy I hope you come back and wish you a speedy recovery

That person that seemed so important at that moment is no longer Tony’s friend! This is crazy! https://t.co/nlBPAnlRvQ

Tony is out, @BlessedMMA is in for the undisputed title. I don’t believe it. #aprilfoolsjoke

— Michael Chiesa (@MikeMav22) April 1, 2018

Not a hater. I'm happy Max Hollaway is getting this opportunity and hope the ufc is paying him everything he deserves for saving this card

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) April 2, 2018

@BlessedMMA your the freaking man. Tough fighters take tough fights. Best of luck G. @ufc

MMA fans remember its April fools.

I don’t think I am ready to believe this until tomorrow, but I am just going to leave this here.… https://t.co/3EkHdLhoU8

— Joe Lauzon (@JoeLauzon) April 1, 2018

Not sure if I believe any of this hoopla about about Ferguson being out and Max vs Khabib. #ufc223

— Michael Chiesa (@MikeMav22) April 1, 2018

Booked 4 times and canceled 4 times. I’m in disbelief! Idk if the UFC will rebook this one for a 5th time. We might look back one day and realize Khabib vs Tony was the best matchup we never got to see..

— Shane Burgos (@HurricaneShaneB) April 1, 2018

I CANNOT believe this fight is off AGAIN!!! I’ll hold my breath until tomorrow #UFC223

— Jimmy Smith (@jimmysmithmma) April 1, 2018

What.....

— Kevin MTP Lee (@MoTownPhenom) April 1, 2018

@BlessedMMA is a fuckin gangster tho

— Shane Burgos (@HurricaneShaneB) April 1, 2018

I’m an emotional wreck reading all these tweets and news lines. I hate #AprilFoolsDay #aprilfools I don’t know what to believe anymore.

— Zak Cummings (@ZakCummings) April 1, 2018

this game is so unpredictable nothing in the world like it!

— Dillon Danis (@dillondanis) April 1, 2018

I was super skeptical since it’s April Fool’s… but I just heard from a person I trust with details that confirm it. It’s legit.

— Joe Lauzon (@JoeLauzon) April 1, 2018

I hate April fools

— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) April 1, 2018

This shit so crazy. Nothing but respect @BlessedMMA

— Kevin MTP Lee (@MoTownPhenom) April 1, 2018

I firmly believe that the @ufc is pulling an April Fool's joke. This can't be real. We will all have a good laugh about this tomorrow while the major sites all run headlines about the UFC pulling the most elaborate punking in sports history.

— Sean O'Connell (@realOCsports) April 2, 2018

This can’t be real ‍♂️ https://t.co/eq4MfkTGIu

Crazy news #ufc223

— GILBERT BURNS (@GilbertDurinho) April 2, 2018

Looks like this is real. I don't take chances on April fools can't be too cautious. Heal up @TonyFergusonXT

— Will Brooks (@ILLxWillBrooks) April 2, 2018

Bro the one fight I’m dying to see, that I feel like now we’ll never get @TeamKhabib vs @TonyFergusonXT #UFC223

— Brad Tavares (@BradTavares) April 2, 2018

This is number one bullshit. #ufc223
