It's a mantra for show business and, this weekend anyway, combat sports:
The (slightly adjusted) show must go on.
The UFC will go ahead with a 13-bout card Saturday night in suburban Los Angeles barely 24 hours after its planned-for main event was scuttled by a back injury to Arman Tsarukyan, the No. 1 challenger to lightweight champion Islam Makhachev.
Into the breach stepped 10th-ranked contender Renato Moicano, who'd been set to square off with Beneil Dariush elsewhere on the main card. The promotion filled that vacant slot with a heavyweight bout between top-10 contenders Jailton Almeida and Serghei Spivac.
