When the news broke that the originally scheduled main event between Fedor Emelianenko and Matt Mitrione was off of Saturday night’s Bellator 172 event in San Jose, California, the MMA social media world was buzzing.
Below are some of the reactions from MMA personalities such as Scott Coker, Tito Ortiz and others regarding the news of the cancellation of Fedor vs. Mitrione just hours before Bellator 172 went on the air.
Due to illness, @mattmitrione will be unable to compete tonight at #Bellator172. @THEREALPUNK vs @PatrickyPitbull promoted to main event.
