Well, shit.
Khabib is off the card, and the interim lightweight championship bout has been cancelled. That is a massive hit to this PPV, its now maybe a little below average.
Nurmagomedov was released from the hospital, but the UFC's doctors told the UFC to cancel the fight.
edit: UFC statement
Quote:

The scheduled interim lightweight championship bout between Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson at UFC 209 has been cancelled on the doctor’s recommendation.
