UFC fighters call for rankings panelist to be removed

Controversial UFC rankings panel member accused of trashing fighters, being investigated by the UFC for possible removal from the panel.

This past Saturday's UFC 192 card was a pretty entertaining affair, but it did not go off without a hiccup or two, the most significant one being the scrapped fight between Johny Hendricks and Tyron Woodley. For those that might not already be aware, Hendricks had serious issues with his weight cut resulting in a brief hospitalization for the former champion and subsequent cancellation of the bout.

In the aftermath of the news, Woodley was announced as having the next title shot, and that's when a member of the UFC rankings panel decided to step up his internetting game and tweeted some very abrasive comments towards Tyron and former bantamweight champion, Dominick Cruz.
