You must now take all the 125lbers that have been let go, Chatri.

You talk all of this Martial Art and respect talk, yet your greed has directly cost more than half a fighting division it’s chance to earn income for their family.
Have respect @YODCHATRI.
Sign the division.
Former UFC featherweight and lightweight champ Conor McGregor send out a tweet on Thursday directed at ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong, urging the Singapore-based promotion to sign the rest of the UFC’s flyweights along with Johnson. McGregor wrote:

With Johnson’s departure, the UFC’s flyweight division is emptying quickly, with numerous 125-pounders either announcing their release, or their impending move to bantamweight.
