Members of the MMA community reacted to the disappointing news as the UFC released a statement on Borg’s illness and the process of UFC 215 ticket refunds.

Former UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw, who was originally being lined up to fight Johnson for this fight reacted on Twitter. Johnson, who has the chance to set the UFC record for most successful consecutive title defenses in his next UFC flyweight title fight would not accept the fight with Dillashaw, who has never competed professionally at flyweight. “Mighty Mouse” did not like the principle of Dillashaw skipping the line of flyweight contenders, which is how the matchup with Borg was arranged.
