Twitter reacts to Cain Velasquez being pulled from UFC 207, including a replacement offer


Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez has been forced out of yet another fight. This time it’s his UFC 207 rematch with Fabricio Werdum that’s been scrapped.

Just one week before the Dec. 30 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) has deemed Velasquez (14-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) medically unfit to compete against Werdum (21-6-1 MMA, 9-3 UFC) due to a lingering back injury that was publicly revealed during the lead-up to the event.

Although it’s extremely short notice, more than one fighter has offered to step in against Werdum. Whether or not that happens remains to be seen.

Check below for the top Twitter reactions to the news of Velasquez being pulled from UFC 207.
