UFC 222, event koji se održava 3. ožujka u T-Mobile Areni, jer u ozbiljnim problemima od kada je otkazan meč Max Holloway vs. Frankie Edgar (ozljeda Hollowaya).

Organizacija traži zamjenu, a jedna od solucija je bila borba Frankie Edgar vs. Brian Ortega. No Ariel Helwani je otkrio da je meč sve samo ne dogovoren, stoga su opcija i oni drastični potezi. Jedan je prebacivanje formata priredbe s PPV-a na onu besplatni, televizijski, a drugi scenarij je onaj koji nitko ne želi - otkazivanje eventa.

Potencijalni meč Edgar vs. Ortega je, čini se, u ovim trenucima jedini spas za priredbu.

Doesn’t appear as though Dillashaw-Garbrandt will happen on 3/3. They also tried to book Cyborg-Kunitskaya but that’s not happening either. Canceling the card altogether is also on the table. They tried to book Edgar-Ortega on the Orlando card to beef that up but it’s too soon.

So, lots still up in the air. Last resort is to cancel the card. They’d rather not turn it into a Fight Night but they’ll have to if they can’t produce a title fight and right now there just aren’t many title fight options for less than a month away. Developing.
