It is what it is.
UFC 218 took a hit when Frankie Edgar was replaced just weeks ago before tonight's main event at the Little Caesars Arena In Detroit, but a worthy contender re-entered the mix in the form of Jose Aldo, who lost the featherweight title to Max Holloway back in June.
While it may not be the matchup fight fans hoped for, it's still one of the top fights that can be made in the 145-pound division.
Holloway is set on making his run as champion the "Blessed Era," and who could blame him?
