Brian Ortega: UFC has a replacement fighter for Max Holloway at UFC 231

[Gladiatorz]

Quit jinxing the event

Good stuff

If Max misses weight or is hospitalized again he should be forced to move up to 55.

How come Conor is a bum for beating up midgets at 145 and Holloway gets a free pass?

I goddamn hope it's BJ PENN.

It should be.

I goddamn hope it's BJ PENN.

It should be.

Seeing as they just announced Moicano vs Bektic, I'd say it's gotta be Mendes.

 

[GordaoPreguico]

isn't Moicano/Mendes on the card as well?

I would hate for that fight to fall apart

 

[lostdog000]

hope its aldo, t-city already owns frankies soul

and so does aldo

 

[Osiris3657]

I don't think its Frankie. He has nothing to gain from beating Frankie again and risk the chance of losing. He will turn it down like the last time

No he won't. He is fighting for the title no matter who his opponent is, per his contract. In other words, if Max can't make it, he's stripped of the belt and Ortega fights a replacement for the belt.

My money is on either Mendes or Edgar.
