With the historical cancellation of UFC 151 that was supposed to take place on Sept 1st, the entire MMA world made their thoughts known on Twitter. Here are some of the most intriguing (in my opinion) from MMA professionals and fighters.

NEVER TURN DOWN ANY FIGHT!fight is what i do!! RT @juli0666: @mikestraka @cowboycerrone Im sure cowboy wouldn’t turn down a fight.

UFC 151 @mmafighting @arielhelwani Put me in Coach. Why dont they just promote Shane Roller vs. Jacob Volkmann to main? — Roy Nelson (@roynelsonmma) August 23, 2012

So @ufc 151 cancelled means fighters don’t get paid! FTF will still take care of there fighters @takeya_miz @eddieyaginmma #FTFTEAM — FEAR THE FIGHTER (@Fearthefighter) August 23, 2012

Next question – did the whole event need canceling because the main event was lost? And is it Jones’ fault that it was canceled? — Dan Hardy (@danhardymma) August 23, 2012

Now the entire UFC card is scrapped because Jones didn’t accept a fight with a 185lb’er who is completely out of shape.WOW.Just wow. — Joe Rogan (@joerogan) August 23, 2012

I feel sorry the most for the fighters on the undercard that are missing a paycheck after a long camp.My thoughts go out to them. — Joe Rogan (@joerogan) August 23, 2012

30 min to cement your legacy. Champ or Coward? I make a lot more than you do… Show up in 8 days I’ll give you my purse. — chael sonnen (@sonnench) August 23, 2012

I KNOW you will never fight me. Don’t be afraid. But I’ll always be the monster in the closet of your mind, little JJ. — chael sonnen (@sonnench) August 20, 2012

Jones said he’s not fighting chael on 8 days notice. I did. …. Just sayin — michael (@bisping) August 23, 2012

Jones said he will make it up to all the fighters who had their fights cancelled by giving them a ride in his Bentley. #UFC — MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) August 23, 2012
