The UFC 244 main event appears to be in serious jeopardy after Nate Diaz revealed an issue in a pre-fight drug test with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has forced him out of his scheduled bout with Jorge Masvidal.
Shortly after Diaz (20-11 MMA, 15-9 UFC) posted the news that he wouldn’t be fighting Masvidal (34-13 MMA, 11-6 UFC) on Nov. 2 at Madison Square Garden in New York, an outpour of reactions from the MMA community rolled in – many of which came from fellow fighters, including UFC champ Jon Jones.
Check below for the top Twitter reactions to Diaz’s announcement that he’s out of UFC 244.

Not many people in the world know what you’re feeling right now, I do. Keep your head up man. I knew I was innocent and was willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless hours with scientists and lawyers to prove it.

I know you feel like someone is setting you up, that’s exactly how I felt. At times its going to feel like a pretty hopeless situation but maybe it’s not, you can’t just give up and do nothing. This is a different type of fight man, you owe it to your fans to fight it.

Max Holloway may have MMA Junkie’s Knockout of the Month, Knockout of the Year, and beyond locked up with his buzzer-beating finish of Justin Gaethje at UFC 300, but that hasn’t stopped other fighters from submitting their entry into the conversation. At LFA 182, Kendra McIntyre did exactly that...
Anthony Smith knows he’s not currently in the title picture, but hopes he gets an opportunity to face Alex Pereira some day. The pair traded barbs in the past, but Smith insists it’s nothing personal. UFC light heavyweight champion Pereira (10-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) currently awaits his next challenger...
