Karma Land
They fucking deserve this.
I think I said that last time out with the Romero weigh in fuck up but it’s apropos today as well. Tony Ferguson hurt his knee. He’s out of his title fight with Khabib. This fight will NEVER happen.
Replacing Tony is … Max Holloway!
I don’t know how Max is healthy to fight now when he wasn’t fit enough to take on Frankie Edgar just a few weeks ago but that’s life in this new Age of Crazy. It doesn’t actually matter because Khabib is gonna Khabib this no matter what (i.e. miss weight or massacre Max – it’s one of those two and only those two).
Dana swears this isn’t an April Fool; boy had it better not be. This is him making the announcement.
BOOM!!!!!! We got Khabib vs The Champ Max Holloway for the 155lb title this Saturday in Brooklyn New York!!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/quvI3UqGXh

You can tell he’s resigned to his fate of stewarding the UFC right into the side of a mountain. I’d feel bad for him if he wasn’t rich as fuck. And a dickhead.
Khabib taunted Conor – and even threw a little shade at Tony.
Where are you now? @TheNotoriousMMA

Ferguson issued this statement about his ouchie.
Words can’t explain how hurt, frustrated and angry and in disbelief I am right now. As I was completing my UFC Pre-Fight Media obligations on Friday I had an accident on a studio set that tore a ligiment in my knee. My doctor and the UFC doctor both said I can’t fight and one is saying I need surgery, so I will see a specialist to make the final determination on how I can heal up and get back in there to defend my belt ASAP. I want to apologize to all the fans, the UFC, Khabib, my teammates, my coaches, my friends and most importantly my family. Happy Easter to everyone out there, I believe there is a silver lining in this nightmare of reality, because this ain’t an Aprils Fools. Good health and blessings to you all!”
And this is what Holloway said:

He’s a weird one.
