UFC 223 Fight Card: PPV Schedule, Odds and Predictions for Khabib vs. Iaquinta

/12 Aug 2019

The UFC 223 fight card has been a moving target, to put it nicely.
What was once a highly anticipated card featuring Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson fighting for the lightweight title was dismantled by accidents, bad weight reductions and an inexplicable attack from Conor McGregor, who’ll eliminate a name on the card before stepping into the Octagon.
Shaheen Al-Shatti of MMA Fighting recapped all the volatility enclosing fight week:

So Tony-Khabib, however Tony’s hurt so Khabib-Max, but Max can’t cut any more weight so Khabib-Pettis, but nah so Khabib-Felder, but Felder ain’t ranked and seemingly that matters, therefore Khabib-Iaquinta, but Iaquinta can not win the belt since he wore shorts to weigh-ins.
Fun week.

These were just the adjustments to the major event. McGregor’s antics price the card three fights, as Artem Lobov-Alex Caceres, Michael Chiesa-Anthony Pettis and Ray Borg-Brandon Moreno were scratched as a outcome.
What’s left is an intriguing card with just nine fights, but it’s still worth checking out.
If anything, the co-main occasion between Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Rose Namajunas for your women’s strawweight title is the highlight. The rematch is a strong contender for Fight of the Night.
