Volkan Oezdemir vs. Mauricio Rua isn't happening at this event because Volkan can't leave the US until his legal troubles are settled.
This event has lost both main events. Look at that card. Look at it! What the hell is going to be the main event? UFC dug their own grave putting such a poor card up.
The UFC's trying to find an opponent for Kamaru but he'll only fight a ranked WW. Masvidal and Cerrone are available?
Unsurprisingly the UFC is struggling to find a new opponent for Usman. I think this card is Ata high risk of being cancelled in case you were planning on flying out to Santiago.
Makes sense. Counter a wrestler with a submission artist. Maybe we'll see what Usman's striking is like.

I saw a bit of the main card, none of the main event. Luque looked good. Lee could be something. The new strategy of not expecting fans to watch all the events is working.
