"This one fight is musical f***ing chairs" - Fans react to Carlos Ulberg's rumored exit from UFC 303 fight against Anthony Smith 

UFC 303 has been plagued by injuries and last-minute changes, and the madness might not be over yet. Rumors swirling that Carlos Ulberg is considering pulling out of his main card fight against Anthony Smith have caused fans to take to social media to express their frustration.

Originally, Conor McGregor's injury forced a reshuffle. Light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira stepped in to headline against Jiri Prochazka. Then, Jamahal Hill's injury led to Ulberg replacing him opposite Smith. Now, Ulberg's potential withdrawal throws another wrench into the plans.

Fans are understandably bewildered. One wrote:
