Jon Jones' latest drama caused shockwaves through the UFC, as the company moved UFC 232 to California from Las Vegas. We mentioned last night that several fighters reacted to the news, and Christmas Eve didn't slow that down. Check out some more responses below
I’ve always been very defensive of the criticisms against ufc but I’m really not proud to be a part of this organization today.

Can I have some of Jon Jones purse though as reimbursement to the family that I have flying down to Vegas and the hotels booked ? @ufc

UFC fighters until you organize and collectively bargain you're going to keep having your divisions threatened, entire card moved (costing you and your friends thousands of dollars), you'll get cut, get shafted, lied to, brushed off, fed to wolves, left on the shelf..

And I thought I had some bad luck . Jon Jones has some bad luck ! From what I’ve read this doesn’t look like a new situation . I hope everyone can make it out to Cali and I’m looking forward to the 205lb title fight! #UFC232

Appreciate that brotha. But if my wife barely wants to fly...I know damn well she ain't driving to Cali. She gets uncomfortable driving to the grocery store.

So many questions on how things even work to switch a huge card to another state on 6 days notice.

People idolise drug cheats all the time... Remember this sport was built around athletes pre-USADA.

The biggest issue is the fighters, fans and employees it effects with the move 2 LA.
I’ll still buy #ufc232 & watch it while I’m cutting weight in Japan ---- #JonesGustafsson2
