UFC fans are not happy that the entire main card initially announced for UFC 149 at the Saddledome in July has been scrapped.

The move came after heavyweight Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira withdrew this weekend due to an arm injury.

Many fans poured their frustrations out over Twitter and Facebook Sunday.

One ticket holder tells The Calgary Sun he’s putting his ticket up for sale on Kijiji because he’s no longer interested in the card.

The main event will now feature Urijah Faber and Renan Barao vying for the interim bantamweight title.

One more fight has yet to be announced.
