With Michael Chiesa forced out of his UFC Fight Night main event on July 13 against fellow lightweight contender Tony Ferguson due to injury, the originally scheduled co-main event bout between bantamweight standouts Michael “Mayday” McDonald and John “Hands of Stone” Lineker has now been moved into the five-round headliner spot.

The card airs live on FOX Sports 1 from the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Ferguson, the No. 3-ranked contender at 155 pounds, will remain on the card in the co-main event slot as he faces unbeaten Octagon newcomer Landon Vannata.

Oh wow. Guess theyre bringing in a Horcher for Tony.

Not actually Horcher though cause he got in a bike wreck.

Lineker vs Mcdonald is a very good alternative to Ferguson vs Chiesa as a main event. Will be FOTN for sure.

I like that the UFC is bringing attention to BW, they came a long way from the spot FLW is right now.

So they pulled Ferg from the card?

 

[Dick]

Extremely disappointing imo. He better fight Khabib after this considering they both had to fight unranked short notice replacements.

 

[J. Bernie Cunningham]

Well let's all wonder who the fuck Landon Vanotta is.

 

[beefcake180]

Huh. Landon Vannata is quite good. Hes quite a bit better than Horcher imo.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Called it. I thought Cowboy would be the one to have the balls to take the Tony fight but its clear no one wants to fight that guy, especially on short notice

BTW its Vannata

 

[Arkridge]

There are so many talented LWs on the roster. Hard to believe none of them wanted this fight. That or the UFC didn't care much to find a suitable replacement.

 

[M Raid K]

Darrel Horcher 2.0...

 

[FenoxSky]

Critizices Khabib for taking a nobody late replacement.
Does the exact same fucking thing.

 

[Phillyz]

Landon via KO

 

[NightwingBJJ]

Who the fuck is that?

 

[HwoarangStyle]

Ferguson is going to beat the breaks off this guy lol

 

[SimonNova]

Thats fucking awful. Man its like they didnt even try.

 

[TheBrownRanger]

It's going to be like watching a Bellator squash match. Vannata is a Featherweight too, LOL

 

[beefcake180]

Well let's all wonder who the fuck Landon Vanotta is.

He's a Jackson wink fighter, undefeated fought for rfa. Pretty crafty definitely ufc ready.

Obviously Tony should win but Landon is a good fighter.

 

[Arkridge]

Who the fuck is that?

Newcomer. Jackson-Wink prospect, 8-0 with 7 finishes, none of them reaching the 3rd round. Not the best option but Landon is a good prospect. He's still gonna get fucked up though.

Ferg pulls from Khabib, Khabib fights a debut

Now Mike pulls from Ferg, Ferg fights a debut

wtf
