Luis Henrique vs. Marcin Tybura Moved To UFC 209
MMA Junkie reports that a heavyweight fight between Luis Henrique (10-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) and Marcin Tybura (14-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) has been booked for UFC 209. The fight was originally set for UFC 208 but a medical issue forced Henrique off the card. Justin Willis stepped in on short notice but he was also ruled medically ineligible after trying to make weight, which meant Tybura had no one to fight. The event happens on March 4 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It airs on PPV after preliminary fights on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Here’s the lineup:
Champ Tyron Woodley vs. Stephen Thompson – for welterweight title
Tony Ferguson vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov – for interim lightweight title
Rashad Evans vs. Daniel Kelly
David Teymur vs. Lando Vannata
Mark Hunt vs. Alistair Overeem
