Khabib Nurmagomedov Gets New Opponent For UFC on FOX 19

Although he was expected to be scratched from the card, Khabib Nurmagomedov will fight at UFC on FOX 19 after all. FOX Sports reports that Nurmagomedov is set to face Darrell Horcher at the event, which takes place on April 16th in Tampa, Florida. The main card airs on FOX after early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

Nurmagomedov was originally set to face Tony Ferguson in the main event, but Ferguson had to withdraw due to a lung injury this week and left him without an opponent on short notice.
