The new main event between Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson and the co-main event between Chimaev and Kevin Holland have received all the attention from the MMA community, which seems quite excited about the two fights. However, some were more impressed with Li Jingliang for giving up the co-headliner spot against Ferguson to take on a relatively lesser-known fighter in Daniel Rodriguez. This includes Bellator standout Dillon Danis, who called Jingliang "more gangster" than everyone on the card: "Li Jingliang is more gangster than them all! wasted his new suit and learning english for the press conference also gave up co main against a legend and now accepted a fight against a nobody that’s 10 pounds heavier than him. WOW!"

As 'Borz' gears up to meet Kevin Holland in a 180-pound catchweight contest, Dana White revealed the health issue behind Chimaev’s weight miss at the UFC 279 weigh-ins. Speaking to ESPN, the UFC president stated that Khamzat Chimaev was struggling with the weight, which prompted the promotion to bring in a doctor. According to White, the doctor advised the undefeated welterweight to stop the weight cut. The UFC chief said: "So what happened was, he was cutting weight... If you saw him yesterday, he was very, very lean already and he should’ve come in on weight. He started to cut weight and he started locking up and cramping and all the things that happen from a bad cut." White continued: "Unlike 10 years ago, when we were doing this, they call in and we send a doctor up and the doctor determines whether he should keep cutting weight or not. And the doctor told him he shouldn’t. So we jumped on this this morning."
