Since 2014, the UFC has promoted multi-event weeks for International Fight Week, Unfortunately, also during that time at least one major fight has dropped off of one of the scheduled cards. In 2014, Chael Sonnen failed a drug test and was removed from a fight with Vitor Belfort (that was originally supposed to be against Wanderlei Silva before a whole host of issues interceded to prevent that fight). In 2015, Jose Aldo pulled out of his scheduled title defense against Conor McGregor for UFC 189. In 2016, McGregor was pulled out of a rematch with Nate Diaz after fake retiring and then Jon Jones failed a drug test to force him out of his scheduled rematch with Daniel Cormier.
