Social media reaction to Jon Jones being out of UFC 200

News of Jon Jones being off UFC 200, spoiling a rematch with Daniel Cormier, resonated with people inside and outside of the fighting world.

Flying to Vegas and my jaw dropped once I got WiFi...
Speechless is all I can say!

@dc_mma @ufc, I feel for ya. I know it feels to have your opponent get pulled 3 days before the fight due to being dishonorable. #norespect

Sad day for MMA 😞

It's extremely shamefull and direspectfull, to his fans, to the public, to the UFC, and to his opponent who trained hard for months to face him, for Jon Jones to have been caught again!! This man should be banned from the sport, he is a shame to all of us! #ufc200 @dc_mma

Also chiming in was Conor McGregor's coach John Kavanagh, who used Jones being pulled as an opportunity to gripe about McGregor's absence from the card.

I wonder if there's any regret taking him off the card over a press conference now? 🤔💉💉🚫🚫

Need 2wait 4 details BUT if true it's a real slap in the face to his coaches, team mates, fans & DC. Couldn't deal with someone like that.
