People are not happy. They aren't happy with the UFC after Joseph Duffy withdraw from his upcoming fight with Dustin Poirier, cancelling the second main event of UFC Dublin. The event - which was sold out in five minutes - is now being headlined with Paddy Holohan's bout with Louis Smolka.
Not everyone is upset that Holohan is the main event:
Disappointing that Duffy has had to pull out but every Irish fan I spoke to today said Paddy Holohan is the real main event on this card.

Dana White was getting all of the ire on twitter, with people quick to point out how bad they think card is:
@danawhite @ufc @UFCEurope @seanshelby UFC Dublin is a disastor. I have collectors tickets here and both fights are scrapped #useless

@barry1243: @danawhite how can UFC Dublin still go on, not a single top 15 fighter on card? not acceptable from a major promotion #UFCDublin

Some people were quick to ask for their money back:
While others had a novel way to repay the customers:

Not everyone wants a refund, they just want to see a good fight:
@danawhite what about the people who don't want a refund but still paid the same money to watch a card 2 fights lighter? #UFCDublin

They were demanding a new fight to replace Duffy:
@danawhite @UFCEurope @ufc sort out a new fight for the card! The fans deserve it paying money then main and co main scrapped! #UFCDublin

Can Dana himself step up to face Poirier?
@danawhite can you make 170 ? #UFCDublin

While others pointed out that Dublin is as popular to UFC fighters, as the UFC is in Dublin:
And some big names wanted to step up:
@ufc @UFCEurope Anytime! Anywhere! I'm always ready to fight for u @danawhite @lorenzofertitta even in Dublin! ;) #UFCsoldier
