Khabib Nurmagomedov and Max Holloway will fight for the interim Lightweight Championship and headline a stacked UFC 223 event.
Originally, Tony Ferguson was set to fight the undefeated Nurmagomedov, but an injury has forced him to give up his belt. Holloway accepted the fight on short notice and will be fighting up a weight class.
Though Holloway is ranked the fourth-best pound-for-pound UFC fighter, he is a massive underdog against Khabib in the main event of the evening.
On Sunday, April 8, the early preliminaries will begin around 8:00am (AEST), followed by the preliminaries beginning at about 10:00am (AEST). The highly anticipated main card is then set to take place at roughly 12:00pm (AEST). This is The Roar’s ultimate guide to watching the fight.
