UFC lightweight Justin Gaethje recalled how he was offered to replace Khabib Nurmagomedov in the fight against Tony Ferguson.

“They told me that the fight was canceled. Then I ordered pizza and stuffed myself to the brim. And the next morning they call me again and say that the fight is still on. I was like, ‘What’s going on?’” - Gaethje’s words are quoted by the portal Home of Fight.
