After a fight week switch to the main event, the UFC has released an updated version of the UFC 223 poster ahead of Saturday. Following an injury that will keep Tony Ferguson out  of the lightweight title headliner, featherweight champ Max Holloway (19-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) subbed in to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov (25-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC). “Blessed” is a sizable underdog to Nurmagomedov despite being a UFC titleholder, and the designers attempted to bring that storyline to life by giving “The Eagle” a sizable poster presence. The other side of the poster, featuring the co-main event between strawweight champ Rose Namajunas (7-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) and Joanna Jedrzejczyk (14-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC), remains the same. Check out the updated UFC 223 poster below (via Twitter ): It goes down Saturday night
