UFC 303 looks a whole lot different than it did just 24 hours ago.
In case you missed it — on Thursday night, UFC President Dana White announced that former two-weight UFC Champion, Conor McGregor was removed from this month's UFC 303 card due to an undisclosed injury.
With a UFC Light Heavyweight Championship bout between champion, Alex Pereira and former champion, Jiri Prochazka as well as a featherweight scrap between former title challenger, Brian Ortega and fan favorite, Diego Lopes now scheduled to headline International Fight Week on June 29, several members of the MMA world shared their thoughts on McGregor's injury as well as the new headliners.

"I know people will complain because I'm the 14th ranked but I'm sure they offered the fight to other fighters in the rankings and they said no. That's why they called me"
