UFC 223: Khabib vs. Iaquinta Fight Card, TV Info, Predictions and More

After the UFC had to hit the shuffle button more than once, UFC 223 is set to go off with Khabib Nurmagomedov and Al Iaquinta fighting for the lightweight title in the main event.

Well sort of. Nurmagomedov is the only one eligible to win the title because Iaquinta weighed in at 155.2 pounds, .2 pounds over the championship limit.

The road to that fight is one of the most bizarre things to happen in UFC history, but we'll take it.

The fight that was supposed to be Tony Ferguson vs. The Eagle then turned into a bout between Nurmagomedov and Max Holloway because of injury, which then turned out to be a fight against Anthony Pettis after Holloway was deemed medically unfit to fight.
