BREAKING: Max Holloway has been declared medically unfit to fight. Holloway is out of UFC 223. Per Dana White.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) April 6, 2018

Max Holloway is officially out of the #UFC223 headliner. @bokamotoESPN had it first. Hearing word that Anthony Pettis is the frontrunner to step in, but he has still yet to weigh in and it's far from official. But that's the plan.

— Mike Bohn (@MikeBohnMMA) April 6, 2018

My god what a mess !!! UFC 223 !!! Holloway out !!! ?????????????????????

— patrick cote (@patrick_cote) April 6, 2018

Since Max is out they should bail out Conor and throw him in there with Khabib tomorrow night.

— Ulysses Gomez (@uselessgomez) April 6, 2018

Worse week in combat sports history? Canelo/GGG cancelled, Tony Ferguson injury, Conor in jail, and now this. https://t.co/wcGsM1Ftg4

— Brendan Schaub (@BrendanSchaub) April 6, 2018

Current plan is Khabib vs. Pettis per UFC officials. Stay tuned.

Per @arielhelwani, Max Holloway wants to continue pushing through the weight cut 'and is close' but doctors intervened and stopped it. Hawaiians are next-level tough. #808 #UFC223

#UFC223 weigh-in results: Anthony Pettis (@ShowtimePettis) – (155.2) https://t.co/FCbiPjc3Ay

*Pettis has 2 hours to cut the final .2 pounds for a title fight pic.twitter.com/0eNWbtSXfl

— MMAjunkie (@MMAjunkie) April 6, 2018

Anthony 'Showtime' Pettis has just weighed in at 155.2 lbs. Per NYSAC rules, he will have two more hours to cut the final two ounces. Increasingly looking like it's gonna be UFC 223: Khabib v. Pettis.

— Jon Anik (@Jon_Anik) April 6, 2018

My brother @Showtimepettis is a legend in the game we scrap with anybody anywhere!

— Mike "Biggie" Rhodes (@TeamRocBiggie) April 6, 2018

NYSAC officials have just pulled the scale from #UFC223 weigh-in room. It does not appear Anthony Pettis will be allowed to weigh in again. Waiting on an official comment.

— Mike Bohn (@MikeBohnMMA) April 6, 2018

New York Commission. You did my boy @BlessedMMA dirty.

No one should ever agree to fight in New York ever again the commission just doesn't whatever it wants

— Mike "Biggie" Rhodes (@TeamRocBiggie) April 6, 2018

One guy manages Khabib Nurmagomedov. The other manages Max Holloway – AND Paul Felder, who made 155 pounds earlier today. Hmmmm……#UFC223 pic.twitter.com/tEKXsYCdpD

— John Morgan (@MMAjunkieJohn) April 6, 2018

I'm hearing that @Showtimepettis asked for a bigger payday, #UFC countered with less. Pettis declined, @felderpaul gets the spot. Standing by for more info from my girl @vevyrodrigues in NYC… #UFC223

— Karyn Bryant (@KarynBryant) April 6, 2018

I'm being told at this point that commission won't let felder fight for title because of rankings fuck New York

— Mike "Biggie" Rhodes (@TeamRocBiggie) April 6, 2018

I tried to get it. Commission is stopping it

— Paul Felder (@felderpaul) April 6, 2018

And the justification from commission is a ranking… ????? you’re doing great NYSAC keep it up! https://t.co/18T6LY44kZ

— Bryan Hamper (@BryanHamper) April 6, 2018

Max Holloway's withdraw from #UFC223 marks the 10th main or co-main event change to the UFC calendar so far in 2018.

— Mike Bohn (@MikeBohnMMA) April 6, 2018

It’s the UFC’s rankings. Send out an “update” with Felder ranked No. 2. https://t.co/xnly8SeWNL

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) April 6, 2018

Ok. If @Showtimepettis fight is not happening. And they won’t allow @felderpaul bc of rankings? Let’s do @ALIAQUINTA! He’s #11 and on championship weight. @ufc

Max Holloway medically unfit to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 223 https://t.co/2TQLXEW8xq

— MMAjunkie (@MMAjunkie) April 6, 2018

Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Al Iaquinta is all but official for the new #UFC223 main event. Belt will be on the line for Khabib, but not Iaquinta due to the fact he weighed in at 155.2. https://t.co/pHRSHU0ZUk

— Mike Bohn (@MikeBohnMMA) April 6, 2018

So happy for my boy @ALIAQUINTA! Hope you cashed out on this one brother!!
