Third-ranked welterweight Khamzat Chimaev missed weight by wide margin on Friday as UFC 279 approached. That disrupted the UFC 279 card in a huge way as three top fights were shuffled around. Nate Diaz, who was Chimaev’s original opponent, will now face Tony Ferguson in the main event on Saturday in Las Vegas. Chimaev is now facing Kevin Holland in a catchweight fight that will serve as the co-main event. Holland’s previously scheduled opponent, Daniel Rodriguez, will now take on Li Jingliang in another catchweight fight.

UFC 279: Nate Diaz vs. Tony Ferguson preview

The two UFC legends will step in to face each other after the scheduled Diaz vs. Chimaev fell apart. It’s a huge opportunity for Ferguson, a former UFC Lightweight Champion who is on a four-fight losing streak and is making his return to welterweight for the first time since 2011. With Ferguson stepping in on such short notice, the expectations will be relatively low and he could certainly revive his star status with a win given the circumstances.

Meanwhile, Diaz has lost three of his last four fights so there’s still plenty to fight for on his end as he looks to put himself back into the title picture. He’ll have the significant length advantage over a fighter who is moving up a weight class but will that be enough to overcome the ring rust for a fighter who has only taken three fights in the last six years?
