UFC 222 reportedly has a new headliner. 

According to MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani, the promotion has tabbed a women's featherweight title bout between Cris "Cyborg" Justino and Yana Kunitskaya as the new main event.

The card, which will take place March 3 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, needed a new headliner after Max Holloway suffered an ankle injury that forced him to withdraw from his featherweight title tilt against Frankie Edgar.
