UFC 279 has a new line-up. UFC President Dana White just revealed that Nate Diaz will face Tony Ferguson in the main event. The new co-main event will feature Khamzat Chimaev and Kevin Holland.
“It’s been a hell of a night, and a hell of a morning,” White just said on Instagram Live.
Both the main and the co-main event is scheduled for five rounds.
“It literally couldn’t have played out any better,” White said.
However, Li Jingliang loses his co-main matchup with Tony Ferguson, and will instead take on Daniel Rodriguez in a 180-pound catchweight bout.
