Khamzat Chimaev was jeered by UFC fans during the ceremonial weigh-in for his fight with Kevin Holland.
Chimaev, the No.3-ranked welterweight in the world, was due to take on Nate Diaz in the main event of UFC 279 in Las Vegas on Saturday night. But he weighed in over seven pounds heavy on Friday morning which saw the fight scrapped.
And while Chimaev will face Holland in the co-main event, Diaz will take on Tony Ferguson in the feature attraction with both bouts taking place over five rounds. The other change to the card sees Li Jingliang take on Daniel Rodriguez in a catchweight bout after both men were left without their original opponents.
