According to UFC officials, Rothwell will still make the trek to Ireland to greet fans. Likely because they already paid for his non-refundable ticket.

“@mattmitrione lost all respect4u now, spewing such bullshit lies-make no mistake I’ll crush ur lying mouth4free NO @ufc contract needed,” Rothwell posted.
