After opponent Khabib Nurmagomedov (24-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) was hospitalized during his weight cut and forced off the card, Ferguson (22-3 MMA, 12-1 UFC) was left without a dance partner for the card. The two lightweight contenders were slated to fight for an interim belt in the co-headliner of the show at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Ferguson turned down a late-notice offer to fight Michael Johnson (17-11, 9-6 UFC); “El Cucuy” said he would have had to take a pay-cut and would no longer be fighting for an interim belt if he took the fight.
