Opening odds on 5D for Namajunas/Jedrzejczyk II had Rose at (+160) which is now down to (+125) and Joanna at (-210) now at (-135). Tough to bet JJ after the way the first fight played out, even after reading about her horrible weight cut.

Fkin second time my $5K bet on khabib got voided bc of this fight not going through... fkin just not meant to be.
I expect Khabib to maul holloway but never betting anyone more than -300/-400 favorite in mma, even Khabib and I love the guy, there is always that chance for a knockout or something like that.
My bookie saved money again, Khabib was gonna kill ferguson.
May put a small wager on Joanna, Chiesa, and Borg.
Enjoy the fight boys.

Huge respect to Holloway for stepping in on 6 days notice. Other than jeapordizing his 12 fight winning streak, Max has nothing to lose by fighting Nurmagomedov. This will be Holloway's biggest pay day so far, and he is very financially driven at this point in his career.
As far as the stylistic matchup, Holloway should have the striking advantage and Nurmagomedov the wrestling and grappling edge. As far as work ethic, Khabib trains just about 365 days a year, as he has since he was 8 years old.
George Lockhart, the nutritionist overseeing Holloway's weight cut, said "I got the call from Max's manager asking, "Hey man, can we do this?" I was like, "What's his weight? And he's heavy, obviously. He hasn't been training." *
For anyone considering betting Holloway at the enticing (+400), it's important to note he is coming off of a serious ankle injury which forced him out of his own title fight just last month, and is making a late weight cut.
Max is a true fighter, and is fun to watch, but I think it's most likely that Khabib will take care of business as usual.

The Artem Lobov vs. Alex Caceres bout has been cancelled due to Lobov being involved in the pre-fight altercation that took place after the UFC 223 media day on Thursday where he and Conor McGregor were part of a crew of "20 people" who stormed the Barclays Center and threw garbage cans, chairs, bike racks, and a dolly at and through the bus carrying fighters back to their hotel room, injuring Michael Chiesa and almost hitting Rose Namajunas in the process.

Also, looks like the Michael Chiesa vs Anthony Pettis and Brandon Moreno vs Ray Borg bouts have both been cancelled. The fighters pulling out, Chiesa due to facial cuts and Borg due to an eye injury, were both injured during the bus attack.

To add to the chaos, Max Holloway has been forced to withdraw from tomorrow's fight as the New York State Athletic Commission deemed him "unfit to compete."
Paul Felder was willing to step in, but the commission would not allow the fight due to Felder not being a ranked UFC fighter.
Anthony Pettis has also said he wants the fight (unofficially for $1 million) to which the UFC countered with less and he declined.
Now, according to Ariel Helwani, "UFC is close to finalizing Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Al Iaquinta for tomorrow night, sources confirm."

Now down to 9 fights, Paul Felder and Anthony Pettis will not be fighting tomorrow as the UFC has officially announced Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Al Iaquinta for the 155 pound title. Iaquinta will not win the belt with a win as he weighed in at 155.2.
