UFC 210 in Tweets: Pros react to Daniel Cormier vs. Anthony Johnson, Johnson's abrupt retirement, more

Johnson's gameplan seemed to revolve entirely around wrestling the two-time Olympian -- a twist few observers could have seen coming -- and the bout played out just minutes after the New York State Athletic Commission badly bungled UFC 210's co-main event between Gegard Mousasi and Chris Weidman.
Not surprisingly, the pros had plenty to say about the bizarro world that UFC 210 seemingly slipped into. Check out reaction to Saturday night's main card below.
