With two weeks left until International Fight Week in Las Vegas, the Ultimate Fighting Championship was busy finding replacement fights to fill one of the biggest fighting cards of the year. With Conor McGregor out with an undisclosed injury, Alex Pereira will step in on two weeks of notice and fight Jiří Procházka for the main event.

Also, the co-main event was changed due to Jamahal Hill sustaining an injury in training camp. The co-main event will now feature Brian Ortega filling in and fighting rising star Diego Lopes at Featherweight. One of the fights I am excited to see is the match between undefeated Ian Garry and Michael "Venom" Page at Welterweight. One of these two fighters will be a UFC Champion soon.
