Following Conor McGregor-related removal of three bouts, UFC 223 lineup finalized with just 10 contests

UFC officials have confirmed the new bout order for Saturday’s UFC 223 event following the abrupt removal of three contests.

As MMAjunkie previously reported, Artem Lobov (13-14-1 MMA, 2-4 UFC), one of Conor McGregor’s SBG Ireland teammates in Dublin, was pulled from his preliminary card fight against Alex Caceres (13-11 MMA, 8-9 UFC) for his involvement in today’s melee inside the site of UFC 223, Barclays Arena in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Additionally, Michael Chiesa (14-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) was ruled off Saturday’s UFC 223 card after he suffered multiple cuts from broken glass during the attack, and his contest with Anthony Pettis (20-7 MMA, 7-6 UFC) was scrapped. Onetime UFC title challenger Ray Borg (11-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) was also ruled out of his flyweight fight against Brandon Moreno (14-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) “due to multiple corneal abrasions,” according to UFC officials.

McGregor is expected to face both legal and UFC-ordered sanctions following the incident.
