Twitter reacts to Khabib Nurmagomedov-Tony Ferguson UFC 209 fight cancellation

Weight cutting is the biggest problem in MMA. We need a solution where we transition towards fighters competing at their actual weight.

To severely dehydrated yourself 24 hours before a cage fight is insane and has massive health and performance consequences.

I dont see any problem , nobody force you to Cut weight, its a personnal decision, and personnal responsability to get educated ! https://t.co/ou7xtvSRMG

If Khabib can't make it to weigh in's, I know a lightweight that would love a rematch against Ferguson. ??

— Brandon Gibson (@SixGunGibson) March 3, 2017

Remember Conor saying he couldn't commit to a fight with Khabib because he has problems making it to the fight?

— Matheus Aquino (@MatheusDCAquino) March 3, 2017

Hearing that @TeamKhabib is in the hospital and might not make weigh ins. Weight cutting is the absolute worst problem in MMA.

And the LW title fight is officially off now. Feel for @TonyFergusonXT hope they give him a replacement to earn $ for his family @ufc

If this Tony vs Khabib fight is off, that's really gonna suck. Still hoping for a miracle though????#UFC209

Wishing @TeamKhabib a safe recovery. Feel for @TonyFergusonXT. Still holding out hope they close the Octagon door behind those two someday.

— JIMI MANUWA (@POSTERBOYJM) March 3, 2017

Hope the guy is alright but it's just odd to me that every time these guys are supposed to fight one or the other pulls out.
