Paul Felder vs Rafael dos Anjos was an extremely entertaining fight at lightweight. The UFC initially set Rafael dos Anjos to face Islam Makhachev however, an injury forced the Russian to pull out of the fight. As it has happened so often this year, the UFC was left scrambling to find a last-minute replacement for the fight. 

‘The Irish Dragon’ stepped in to take the fight on a few days’ notice, with an arduous weight cut ahead of him. However, being the astute professional that he is, Felder stepped on the scales at 155 on the dot and salvaged the main event tonight. 

The MMA community was quick to laud two of the best at 155 pounds for their efforts. Here are some of the best Twitter reactions.
