News can break, spread, and sometimes vanish in the blink of an eye. Recently, fans were thrown into a whirlwind when the UFC’s official Twitter account made and quickly erased a major update about the Khamzat Chimaev vs. Robert Whittaker bout.
The buzz began when the UFC tweeted that Chimaev and Whittaker’s fight was no longer set as the co-main event of UFC 308. This bout was originally planned to be a thrilling five-round co-main event. The sudden and unexpected tweet left fans scratching their heads and speculating about what might have prompted such a change.
Alexander Volkov vs. Cyril Gane was announced as the new co-main event for UFC 308. The UFC quickly deleted the tweet, but not before it had time to spread like wildfire. Screenshots of the announcement began circulating online, and the speculation machine was in full swing.
The UFC has remained tight-lipped amidst the chaos. Officials have not given an explanation, leaving fans to wonder whether they made an administrative error or if something more significant is at play.
