The lineup for Saturday’s UFC 226 card in Las Vegas has been newly reset after the loss of the co-main event title fight. Late Wednesday, featherweight champion Max Holloway (19-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) was removed from the co-feature against unbeaten challenger Brian Ortega (14-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) after the champ experienced what a team representative called “concussion-like symptoms.” That left the main card with four fights. Today, the UFC announced a lightweight fight between Paul Felder (15-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) and Mike Perry (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC), which only was put together a week ago, will move from the prelims to the middle of the main card. That also means the new co-main event will be a heavyweight clash between Derrick Lewis (19-5 MMA, 10-3 UFC) and recent title challenger Francis Ngannou (11-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC). UFC 226 takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass
