Woodley, Edwards among fighters to react to UFC postponing events

Dana White announced on SportsCenter Monday that the March 21, 28 and April 11 UFC Fight Nights would be postponed.

UFC 249, featuring a main event between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson, still remains on the calendar, with White acknowledging that the fight may not happen in the United States.

Fighters on these upcoming cards, including Tyron Woodley and Leon Edwards, who were originally scheduled to meet in Saturday's main event, took to social media to share their thoughts:

#repost from @arielhelwani Fans I'm sorry😔! I'm shattered by this! I texted @danawhite and told him I'm in for Burns sat (Sat ONLY). I then was told the card was off. We will make it through this together. Don't take it lightly. When we are back and running its me and Clout Chasing Covington. Don't want to hear another name! #TalkIsOver Thanks all my supporters. @mommawoodd @missionusa #SteveWoodley @phokingqui @metabolicmeals @cbdmd.usa @monsterenergy @dinthomas @coachdukeroufus @ericbrown1954 @edbilbasoo @dfunk59 @syrius2 @iammilliereid @americantopteam @roufusport @mike_swick @akathailand @adamweitsman @championmuhsin @fasthandsproductions @dr_sschu @illwavybrooks86 @jucao21 #DrewFromTheLou #Dillion @attatl and all other partners!

I'm sorry to hear of the recent postponement of the next three UFC events, including my fight on March 28. I look forward to working with the @ufc and @danawhite on a replacement date and location so that we can eventually put on a show for the fans. Until then, everyone stay safe as best they can. Hope to see you soon 👊🏾 #thepredator

Honestly, at this point guys who need to make ends meet should start livestreaming sparring sessions on youtube. I honestly think the hardcores will take whatever they can get. And if nothing else it keeps the spirit of MMA alive kinda . #MMA #UFC

Well sounds like we aren't fighting in April. Hoping everything clears up and we can get at it soon. Everyone stay safe. Glory to God and thank you all who have been supporting me #ufc #glorytogod #stayhealthy pic.twitter.com/lgF7s7JpY8

Once normalcy is back ufc needs to have a week where there's an new event Monday-Sunday it can be called FIGHT WEEK

It's been a long camp, almost 10 weeks. Injuries and getting staph and getting over it. Getting ready to make weight I can say I'm gutted not to fight and get a chance for all this to worth something. #ufc
