The UFC 223 official weigh-ins were likely the most dramatic in the company’s history.
In a span of two hours on Friday morning, the UFC lost half of its main event with Max Holloway, and then main event match up changed several times to ultimately settle for Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Al Iaquinta.
Both lightweight fighters met on Saturday night at the Barclays Center, Nurmagomedov outpointed Iaquinta in a dominant decision to win the UFC lightweight title and put an end to one of the most bizarre fight weeks in recent UFC history.
