An injury to Tony Ferguson forced a change to the UFC 223 main event, but there's certainly no less intrigue now that featherweight champion Max Holloway has stepped in to face Khabib Nurmagomedov to determine a new king in the lightweight division.
Holloway has never shied away from a challenge, even if that means taking on the undefeated Russian wrecking machine on just six days’ notice.
It's a daunting task, but one that Holloway was more than happy to accept as he looks to become a two division champion while Nurmagomedov attempts to have a UFC title wrapped around his waist for the first time on Saturday night.
