On of the most anticipated fights in UFC history may have fallen apart.
On Thursday night, Nate Diaz took to Twitter to announce his withdrawal from his main event bout with Jorge Masvidal at next week’s UFC 244. The two welterweight fighters were scheduled to fight for the BMF (Bad Motherf*cker) title. Diaz claimed he’d been told that a tainted supplement was to blame for his failed test.
The potential loss of what arguably was the biggest fight of the year sparked mayhem on social media. Below is how the pros reacted to the news:
You not the baddest mofo in the game (i am) but you are one of the cleanest mofo’s @NateDiaz209 I’ll see you nov 2. I know your name is clean. I don’t need @usantidoping to tell me shit!

There’s only one Bad Mother Fucker in this game and he is the weight jumping, sport crossing, country invading, whiskey drinking Irish animal typing this tweet right now.

Not many people in the world know what you’re feeling right now, I do. Keep your head up man. I knew I was innocent and was willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless hours with scientists and lawyers to prove it.

I know you feel like someone is setting you up, that’s exactly how I felt. At times its going to feel like a pretty hopeless situation but maybe it’s not, you can’t just give up and do nothing. This is a different type of fight man, you owe it to your fans to fight it.

FAKE NEWS. Quit trying to fight journeymen Marty. Let Masvidal fight another .500 fighter or Leon Scott. You got a date with daddy December 14th. And we’re not talking about the one in Federal Penitentiary. https://t.co/wO9ssn3NGY
