Prior to Max Holloway’s injury, may MMA fans had this weekend circled as the former featherweight champion was scheduled to face Yair Rodriguez. Then the injury occurred and the UFC was unable to find a main event replacement, resulting in Islam Makhachev and Thiago Moises being promoted to the main event. Throw in the fact this event is in the shadow of Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor (possibly) settling their feud and this event is being overlooked. At the expense of sounding like a jerk, it kind of deserves to be. Makhachev and Moises is a fine fight, but a main eventer?
