The original main event for the card in Tampa was to be a five round war between top UFC lightweights Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson. When Ferguson became unable to compete due to injury, UFC newcomer Darrell Horcher stepped up and the bout was switched to three rounds and moved down the lineup.
