UFC279 adjustment lineup: Li Jingliang will fight Rodriguez

The UFC279 game planned to be held on the 11th of Beijing time on the 11th of Beijing time temporarily adjusted the lineup one day before the game. .

The competition is played in Las Vegas, USA. According to the original plan, the headline main competition will be played against Diaz, while Li Jingliang faces the "Night Magic" Ferguson in the United Main Competition. The 180 -pound agreement is against Rodriguez. But this battle has been confused since the pre -match conference on the 8th local time.

Earlier, Holland threatened to shave the iconic beard of Qimayev on social media and became the fuse of the conflict between the two. On the 8th, the two met in the background of the press conference and had a speech conflict, and quickly rose to physical conflict, and the teams of both sides joined the melee. Since then, Diaz's team has also been involved, while Li Jingliang witnessed the conflict process.

After the conflict, UFC President Bai Daha announced the ending pre -match conference, but said that the episode would not affect the weekend game.

However, at the pre -matching ceremony on the 9th local time, Qimayev's weight was 178.5 pounds, which exceeded the medium -order limit of 7.5 pounds. As a result, the game could not be performed as planned. The UFC official had to adjust the lineup.

In the adjustment of the headline main competition, the two former lightweight players, Diaz and Ferguson, will perform a matchup at the secondary order. This is also Ferguson's second -time mid -order after 11 years. Holland will challenge the third -level mid -level ranking Qimayev in the United Main competition.

Rodriguez, a new opponent of Chinese star Li Jingliang, is a big challenge to him. Because Rodriguez previously agreed to play at the 180 -pound agreement level, his pre -match weighed 179 pounds, while Li Jingliang weighed 170.5 pounds, and the two were 8.5 pounds (about 3.86 kg). Rodriguez's UFC career has been 16 wins and 2 losses so far, 8 times KO (knock) or TKO (technical knockout) won, 4 times surrendered to win, and never was KO.

In this regard, Li Jingliang said that no matter who the opponent and the result, I hope to live up to everyone's dedication.

At the same time, another young Chinese player Alateng Heili successfully passed the pre -match weighing, and will face Canadian players Chad Anhai in the sideline.
