Fights on Tap is a weekly roundup of all the fights booked in the UFC, Bellator and other promotions.
For everything that happened throughout the week, UFC 279 was a decent offering. After a reshuffling of the event on 24 hours’ notice, Nate Diaz and Khamzat Chimaev—the original headliners—ended the night with respective wins over Tony Ferguson and Kevin Holland. With that card now behind us, we can look at what we have ahead of us on the upcoming schedule.
The UFC either announced or finalized five fights this week, and a much-anticipated clash between two of the best lightweights is set.
