Twitter, including Max Holloway, reacts to Anthony Pettis missing weight for UFC 206 title fight


The UFC 206 fight card underwent another major change today when headliner Anthony Pettis came in three pounds overweight for Saturday’s title fight with Max Holloway.

Pettis (19-5 MMA, 6-4 UFC) wasn’t removed from the fight, but he did lose the opportunity to fight for the interim UFC featherweight belt in the pay-per-view main event at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. He was also forced to give up 20 percent of his purse to Holloway (16-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC).

Although the bout will go forward, only Holloway can win the interim 145-pound strap, adding an even greater twist to a fight that’s been marred by strange circumstances.

Check below to see how the MMA world – and Holloway himself – reacted to the changes around the UFC 206 main event.
