Anyone who has followed this event in the last 24 hours knows this card has been turned upside-down.
Looks like the new main event is Nate Diaz- Tony Ferguson, which is actually a closer fight than Diaz-Chimaev
Daniel Rodriguez may fight Li Jingliang, waiting on Li to accept the fight
And Khamzat Chimaev - Kevin Holland is in the works and it's these 2 most responsible for this card going sideways between them and their fight camps getting into it backstage at the press conference yesterday and then Khamzat missing weight by 8 pounds earlier today.
If Everything gets agreed to, this card will almost work itself out naturally and we will be getting the fights we should be
I'll post my picks when it all gets worked out

Not only was this card saved, but imo it's much better. Nate and Tony are near the end of their careers and deserve this Main Event together as fan favorites. Khamzat gets a more worthy opponent in Kevin Holland and there is legit beef between the 2. D-Rod vs. Li should be a lot of fun and is probably the best fight out of the 3.
