Charles Oliveira vs Conor McGregor fight and Musk connect

Due to the newly introduced subscription-based verification policy, chaos ensued on Twitter. The new policy that kick-started on 10th Nov. has led to numerous parody and impersonating accounts.

As the human brain is endlessly imaginative, the same is reflected on Twitter with the newly verified but fake account. Noted MMA journalist Ariel Helwani also became the victim of the same process.

Taking benefit of the sports journalist’s popularity and credibility, one account posted details of the fraud fight. A fight of such a stature will definitely draw millions. Further, 12000+ likes evidenced it. However, it might become hard for the fans to separate between real and fake now.

Significantly, ‘do Bronx‘ last fought at UFC 280 against Islam Makhachev on Oct 22 in Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena. Although, fans might have to wait for a while to witness the Brazilian in the ring. The fighter had expressed his desire to take a break after the heartbreaking loss.

The Dublin-born fighter last fought against Dustin Poirier in a knockout loss at UFC 264. Since then, ‘Notorious‘ fulfilled his outside-the-Octagon commitments. Which also included his upcoming Hollywood debut project.

But the recent USADA news has pushed the return of the famed fighter to 2023.

How did the fans react?

A user hilariously pointed out, “This isn’t real.. I’m blocked on Ariel’s legit Twitter account. I wouldn’t be able to see this”

 

One user aptly referred to the popular game, ‘Among Us’, which is based on impersonating.

An MMA fan had a message for the users who believed in this poster.

One user mocked the fun of the billionaire’s new policy and called him “smart”.

 

Another user accused the entrepreneur of running the platform.

 

Another user confessed, “Wow it got me until I read the comments. This new Twitter is going to suck lol”.
