    Rashad Evans is cleared to fight.

    His scans were enough to warrant not giving him a license in New York or Ontario, but he and the UFC claim it's a longstanding non-issue and both commissions were being overcautious.

    On paper that main card is looking like a fun night of fights.

    Khabib's father and cousin were both denied visas to enter the US this week.

    Not sure if the UFC will try and help them out.

    Rumour that Khabib has been hospitalized.

    Yikes.

    Groovy Lando has offered to take Khabib's place if he's not allowed to compete.

    It'd be a shame if Khabib wins the fight but doesn't get the fake belt.

    So where do we go from here?

    Alvarez vs khabib?

    Tony vs Conor?

    Conor vs nate 3?

    Fucccckkkkkkkk

    You have to think Conor definitely won't want to fight Khabib now. He already had called him a pull out merchant before this.

    I think they tell Khabib to go fight bums in Siberia if he misses this fight. They've given him every chance.

    Hopefully they can reschedule this for a month or so from now.

    Hopefully Tony gets paid.

    From the UFC...

    UFC lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov was transported to Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center Thursday evening due to weight management medical issues. He was treated and has been discharged, UFC officials confirmed.

    The scheduled interim lightweight championship bout between Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson at UFC 209 has been cancelled on the doctor’s recommendation.

    UFC 209 emanates from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV. Saturday night live on Pay-Per-View at 10pm/7pm ETPT. Tyron Woodley takes on Stephen Thompson with his welterweight championship on the line in a rematch from their 2016 Fight of the Year contender at UFC 205.

    The UFC isn't going to reschedule this. Perfect opportunity to line up Ferguson / Conor.

    Idk. I feel like this whole thing pushes nate vs conor 3 as the fight that will be made. Ferguson pulled out last time they were gonna fight.

    I would rather see ferguson vs conor.....but i feel like khabib pulling out gives conor and nate more leverage becauase they show up on fight night.
