Christmas isn’t jolly for all, and it brings devastating news for Deron Winn. When the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) said, they would be releasing the middleweight fighter just one week before Christmas, it was quite disappointing. Winn had been preparing for his match-up against Julian Marquez at UFC Vegas 66. However, those plans were dashed when he fell down a flight of stairs at the UFC Performance Institute. He suffered an injury that forced the cancellation of the fight.

Fans react in support of the middleweight

Winn took to social media to express his discontent and to thank his fans for their support. Many of his followers have called for other promotions to pick up the fighter and give him a chance to continue his career.

Sh*tty situation, Winn is an entertaining fighter with a lot of potential, but I’m sure he’ll come out of this better all round 💪

Further, a fan wanted all the smoke: “To avoid a lawsuit ?

He’s gotta learn to talk sh*t about Ariel and s*ck up to the boss to keep his job…,” wrote another fan.

One fan did not buy the story: “We all know its not about the fall.

A fan called the whole thing discrimination: “This is discrimination they already have just 5 black fighters on the roster. They’ll always try to find a reason to fire us. 🤦🏾‍♂️ Dana white. Boston,Trump. It makes too much sense.
