The UFC makes its second stop in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Saturday when UFC 223 takes place at Barclays Center with a main card on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. A championship doubleheader tops the card. In the makeshift main event, UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway (19-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) steps in for Tony Ferguson on short notice and will fight Khabib Nurmagomedov (25-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) for the UFC lightweight title. “Blessed” and “The Eagle” bring a combined 21-fight UFC winning streak into the event, tied with the UFC 162 bout between Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman for the longest for a single matchup in UFC history.
