The last 48 hours have probably been one of the most tumultuous moments leading up to a UFC pay-per-view event.
On Thursday, a backstage brawl ensued between main card fighters, leading to the cancellation of the planned pre-fight presser. And on Friday, supposed headliner Khamzat Chimaev missed the welterweight limit by more than seven pounds, which led to Nate Diaz facing Tony Ferguson at the top of the UFC 279 bill, instead.
Diaz, who did his part and made weight, got to speak with UFC correspondent Megan Olivi before the ceremonial weigh-ins on Friday afternoon.
