Dillashaw/Garbrandt was originally scheduled to be the main event. Rescheduled for sometime in the fall. Garbrandt has a back injury.
and Lawler/Cowboy Cerrone was gonna be on this card too, rescheduled for the 7/29 card. Cerrone had some type of intestinal problems but I guess he is will be fine to fight in a few weeks.
and Nunes is officially out now

hno:
Yeah that's how I see it going too. Yoel looks like he is out of a comic book but he wasn't even winning the standup with Weidman until that vicious knee. And Weidman is very slow with his hands.
Whitaker is fast and explosive at 185. Just needs to stay on his feet but if he did vs Jacare then I like his chances.

The only problem — the Nevada State Athletic Commission won’t let this go down. Here’s what they told FloCombat:
“The UFC did not request a replacement for Nunes and with the time left before the event there would not have been enough time for us to have the necessary medical work done to make one happen. For example, female fighters have pregnancy tests done 10 days before the fight. That’s in our rules and required. That hasn’t been done for Joanna Jedrzejczyk for this event.
Damn. If Joanna had been allowed to fight Shevchenko on just hours of notice, she’d go from one of the best fighters in the world to legend status immediately. Can’t she just take a pregnancy test?
A pair of light heavyweights and Octagon newcomers, Trevin Giles and James Bochnovic, kick things off at the T-Mobile Arena.
Results: Trevin Giles def. James Bochnovic via KO (punches) R2 2:54
UFC newcomers Terrion Ware and Cody Stamann will square off next in a featherweight bout.
