Sorry “Cowboy,” maybe next time.
UFC on FOX 19 — which is set to pop off on Sat., April 16, 2016 from Tampa, Florida — suffered yet another crucial blow after one half of he headlining act, Tony Ferguson, was forced to bow out of his lightweight fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov with fluid and blood in his lungs.
There was no shortage of fighters ready and willing to step in to fight Khabib, but in the end, newcomer Darrell Horcher has agreed to replace “El Cucuy” on just two weeks notice to face “The Eagle” at a catchweight bout of 160 pounds.
That said, the Rashad Evans versus Glover Teixeira light heavyweight fight will still serve as the event’s headlining act while Dan Henderson and Lyoto Machida run it back again in main card action.
