News of Jon Jones being off UFC 200, spoiling a rematch with Daniel Cormier, resonated with people inside and outside of the fighting world.
Flying to Vegas and my jaw dropped once I got WiFi...

Speechless is all I can say!
@dc_mma @ufc, I feel for ya. I know it feels to have your opponent get pulled 3 days before the fight due to being dishonorable. #norespect

Also chiming in was Conor McGregor's coach John Kavanagh, who used Jones being pulled as an opportunity to gripe about McGregor's absence from the card.
I wonder if there's any regret taking him off the card over a press conference now? 🤔💉💉🚫🚫

Need 2wait 4 details BUT if true it's a real slap in the face to his coaches, team mates, fans & DC. Couldn't deal with someone like that.
