When Tony Ferguson injured himself over the weekend and was forced out of his lightweight title bout against Khabib Nurmagomedov this upcoming Saturday, the UFC was thrown into chaos. The marquee fight of the UFC’s biggest event so far in 2018 was suddenly no more and Dana White and company had to scramble to find a suitable replacement fight to headline UFC 223. In the end, current UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway answered the call and will be stepping up on short notice for a chance to win his second belt in the UFC.
