Weigh-ins for UFC 223 were perhaps the most insane in history. What started with a Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Max Holloway lightweight title fight turned into Nurmagomedov vs. Al Iaquinta – but only “The Eagle” can win 155-pound gold.
The situation unfolded from early this morning until mid-afternoon. There were several possible replacement options to fight Nurmagomedov (25-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC), but after much stress, the organization landed on Iaquinta (13-3-1 MMA, 8-2 UFC).
