    According to UFC President Dana White, executives at Disney, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, asked him to stand down. White says fighters scheduled to compete at UFC 249 will be compensated.

    What a mess. He should have cancelled it weeks ago. I'm sad to see Khabib vs Ferguson got cancelled, but the UFC should have faced reality when other sporting events got cancelled.

    Being unable to secure a location less than 2 weeks out was a red flag. There was no way international fighters could have made it since they need advance arrangements. Let's hope we get to see Khabib vs Ferguson later this year.

    It is what it is. I just hope that now months down the track when things get back to normal the UFC does the right thing and sets Conor-Gaethje and Tony-Khabib. That's what should happen and I'm sure the vast majority of fans want that.

    Good. Happy to hear this. Justin was far too risky a fight to be taking. He's the ideal next fight for McGregor - if Conor wins he silences the majority of his haters. And Justin is next in line

    Justin vs Dustin 2 is a great match up too. The Division is stacked at the top

    UFC taking its marching orders from Disney. Disney, the same company that brought us Bambi on Ice, telling Dana White that he can't put on a UFC show. Just let that sink in for a second.

    Man is this pathetic.

    Dana White does what he says he gonna do. If he says he gonna do something he's gonna do it. Unless Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck call him and tell him to stand down.

    The fight was never going to happen. Dana craves the attention he just wanted to get media attention and look the hero to some of this dumb fans,

    Good. Never wanted to see Tony-Khabib in an empty arena. It's the one fight the fans to see more than any other including me, it'll be so much better taking place in an arena full of hyped up fans, same with Connor-Gaethje which is another awesome fight.
    A little patience Dana.
