In a hilarious tweet, @MachoMakhachev posted Conor McGregor's pic from a party in Ibiza and suggested that it was a leaked poster from UFC 5. A rather salty user @tonypacheques stated:

"EA does not care about the EA sports UFC community. They don't give a f**k about us. Not a single official word about UFC 5."
