The days leading up to the highly anticipated UFC 223 at Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, New York caused a stir among die-hard fans and the entire sports world alike. Conor McGregor's suspected return to the Octagon was halted following an arrest at the site of the event for a violent incident involving multiple fighters. Several sustained serious wounds after McGregor tossed a hand truck through a bus window and were unable to fight. This incident also forced a shuffling of several fights on the card. In an unrelated but equally dramatic story, Khabib Nurmagomedov was unable to face Tony Ferguson for the fourth time due to a freak injury and Max Holloway's failure to make weight set up a title match with Al Iaquinta. The women's strawweight title was also on the line featuring an exciting rematch between Rose Namajunas (c) & Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
