Statement from UFC:

“During today’s media event at Barclays Center to promote ‘UFC 223: Khabib vs. Holloway,’ Conor McGregor and Artem Lobov entered the building accompanied by over a dozen individuals.

“The group, which included McGregor and Lobov, vandalized the vehicle that contained a number of athletes competing at the event taking place this weekend. NYPD was immediately alerted and is currently in the process of investigating the situation. UFC is working very closely with the New York Athletic Commission, Barclays Center security and law enforcement authorities. All parties are working together to ensure the highest standard of proper safety precautions are implemented to protect the fans and athletes.

“The organization deems today’s disruption completely unacceptable and is currently working on the consequences that will follow. Immediately, Lobov has been removed from this weekend’s card and individuals involved in the incident are not welcome at tomorrow’s ceremonial weigh-in or Saturday’s event at Barclays Center.”

My one care in the world right now is Khabib making weight.

With 3 fights gone off the card, the main event should be on a good bit earlier now, right?

You really don't follow the sport do you? You just pop up any time there is a bit of controversy surrounding McGregor. Pretty sad really.

Everything will be moved up and start later. The main card will start at 3 am as advertised.

Absolutely gutted that we have lost 3 fights off this card. I can only imagine how the fighters feel. You make it through camp, a day off weigh ins and then this **** stops you from fighting.

I think his da had posted or that Khabib had already made weight. Wouldn't listen to a word, the scales will reveal all.

Rose - Submission

Khabib a true warrior weighs in 154.5

Autecher · 06-04-2018 2:15pm

I like the first comment on that reddit link, "What if he cuts so hard that he drops into the weight class below and is ineligible to fight?"

Let's see if Max can make championship weight.

JoeyJJ · 06-04-2018 2:21pm

Joanna makes 114, should be a good scrap.

Subcomandante Marcos · 06-04-2018 2:23pm

Khabib - Submission

Khabib looking good on the scales.

Zero-Cool · 06-04-2018 2:33pm

Rose - Submission

3 fighters left, no sign of Max.

JoeyJJ · 06-04-2018 2:37pm

If max can't make championship weight it really throws the cat among the pidgeons, Tony would be back on ensuring he is interim.

If Max doesn't make weight and Khabib wins, Khabib is still the champion.

JoeyJJ · 06-04-2018 2:46pm

Tell that to Tony he will use any leverage to ensure he is more than number 1 contender,

Zero-Cool · 06-04-2018 2:47pm

Rose - Submission

Only way Tony has any legitimacy on his claim to keep the interim belt is if Max misses weight but wins the fight. The cluster **** scenario.

Any chance of throwing Al or Felder in there to help save the fight?

Autecher · 06-04-2018 2:52pm

Not surprising unfortunately.

JoeyJJ · 06-04-2018 2:52pm

Al wanted it.

It's one of them or bail McGregor out and beg him

Subcomandante Marcos · 06-04-2018 2:53pm

Lockhart's bro-science approach to weight cutting fails to make the grade.

Hurrah.

Ha like the scene out of ghosbusters, this city needs you!

JoeyJJ · 06-04-2018 2:55pm

Tony will be happy I imagine.

EagererBeaver · 06-04-2018 2:56pm

Oh for ****'s sake.

dashoonage · 06-04-2018 2:57pm

artem is surely under 155lbs at the moment ? do it dana

AlmightyCushion · 06-04-2018 2:58pm

Fúcking hell. This card is taking a beating.

Joanna - Submission

Absolute shambles, wtf is going on. The one good thing about this whole McGregor mess was we had the main event to look forward to. Jaysus...

chopperbyrne · 06-04-2018 2:58pm

Joanna and Rose main event so.

Call Me Jimmy · 06-04-2018 2:58pm

i would like to express disappointment

Autecher · 06-04-2018 2:58pm

So likely a 9 fight ppv, all 4 fights cancelled will in some way be connected to Conor. He is some man all the same :rolleyes:
EDIT: Never mind Pettis is stepping in to give us a fight nobody wants save the card

fitzparker · 06-04-2018 2:59pm

Iaquinta v Khabib
Pettis V feldor

might aswell do this, what other options have they got

JoeyJJ · 06-04-2018 3:00pm

Exactly what I said to a mate however can't see Al getting Khabib.

Pettis to step in I believe... Disappointing

Frank Bullitt · 06-04-2018 3:01pm

155 is a cursed division, what a disaster. I was really really looking forward to that.

Dana would pull his hair out if he had any left.

The other 3 are fair enough but you can't blame McGregor for Tony or Max pulling out.

What a shambles if Pettis somehow wins

Call Me Jimmy · 06-04-2018 3:03pm

The plus side to pettis is at least he's fit and ready, I know not the same quality as Max but, god damn feel like a lot of cards from falling apart in the last while, suppose it's always been like this

Pettis with the showtime kick finish, calling it now.

I get that they want to salvage the event but that's seriously not right to give Pettis a championship match.
