Is there a backup fighter for 287 main event?

Even if Alex misses weight, he'll still fight. He'd be stripped like Oliveira and then beat izzy and move on against someone else to win the belt back.
 
Who would you rather be it? Cannonier already lost to Israel. Strickland has lost to Pereira. Vettori just fought and lost to Israel twice. I guess there is that guy who is reppin Africa but he'd get battered as well. Rob is the most proven commodity in this equation.

Chad
 
I'm a little concerned with Alex making weight. He's got the largest weight cuts ever. Marvin just fought Vetorri I doubt he will be there.

Oh the calamity!
No theres actually two backup fighters. Its Jake Paul and @BoxerMaurits ready to slug it out over a woman! <{JustBleed}>
 
I mean Vettori went to a photo shoot with his pants on backwards. I could totally see him trying to fight his last name
 
Izzy should just back out if Alex doesn’t fight. He came here for one opponent and one opponent only. His main mission should be revenge.

Stupid gamble to fight Rob for a 3rd time especially after being beat
 
It's not Khamzat because of Ramadan. He's fasting

More likely Robert Whittaker
Don't think so. He has a podcast of his own now and he said UFC told him to be on standby and wait to see what happens with Izzy/Poatan. I'm assuming he's getting the winner only if it's Poatan but it didn't seem like he was doing a pre cut or preparing for anything. Seemed too fat and happy to have anything in the pipeline.
