UFC 279 is set to get going this weekend from Las Vegas, Nevada, on Saturday, September 10. There is a five-bout main card highlighted by Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson. The event will air across the ESPN network, with the main card broadcast via ESPN+ PPV.
This is one of the few UFC PPVs that doesn't include a title match anywhere on the card. Don't let that deter you from checking it out, though, as the main card is sure to have plenty of fireworks. #13 Johnny Walker and Ion Cutelaba will kick off the main card with a light heavyweight bout. The women's bantamweight division will then be on display as #4 Irene Aldana takes on #10 Macy Chiasson.
However, things have been shake up from there. Diaz was originally slated to fight third-ranked welterweight Khamzat Chimaev. However, Chimaev couldn't make weight and was moved into a co-feature middleweight bout against Kevin Holland. Tony Ferguson was scheduled to face Li Jingliang but was moved into the main event. Daniel Rodriguez was scheduled to fight Holland but was moved into the bout against Jingliang. It was a wild Friday afternoon.
The early prelims will start at 6:00 p.m. ET, with the prelims at 8:00 p.m. ET. The main card is expected to begin at 10:00 p.m. ET with the Diaz-Ferguson fight to close it out.
