Twitter explodes in furious uproar following confirmation that Aldo-McGregor isn’t happening

Twitter was like a dog with a bone that tasted like betrayal.

We are now coming to terms with the fact that Conor McGregor will not be fighting Jose Aldo for the UFC world title, in Las Vegas, on July 11. The world champion's damaged ribs have caused him to pull out of the much-hyped fight and left McGregor with an interim title bout with Chad Mendes. Needless to say, after all the glitz, glamour and air miles about the UFC 'Flight of the Year', folks are not happy. Luckily, Twitter is always on hand to listen.
