Shit thing there is the show is in Brazil. If Manuwa was the one who got hurt then they could do Glover vs Rountree or whoever and it's a good fit for Brazil. Still, Manuwa vs Rountree would be fun, or Manuwa vs Cutelaba.

I haven't seen it elsewhere on here, but I had heard Derrick Lewis Vs Volkov is the co-main for the McGregor/Nurmagomedov fight. I was kind of surprised UFC went with that option, as I was expecting Blaydes/Volkov, but I guess this makes it look like the more impressive winner out of Lewis/Volkov or a potential Miocic/Blaydes fight, will get the next HW title shot, once DC/Lesnar is settled. That's all depending on what Jon Jones wants to/is able to do at that point of course.

What about Shoeface? He's been at 205 before. That would certainly be an interesting match.

Thiago Santos has stepped in to fight Manuwa on the Brazil card next month. 

Good fight that. Didn't even think of Santos moving up but he's a big 185er and style-wise him and Manuwa match up well. 

Sources are Helwani and Chamatkar Sandhu on Twitter.
