<-<- --- ->-> UFC 178: Johnson vs Cariaso is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held on September 27, 2014 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Official fight card Fight card Flyweight Demetrious Johnson (c) vs. Chris Cariaso For the UFC Flyweight Championship Lightweight Donald Cerrone vs. Eddie Alvarez Featherweight Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor Middleweight Tim Kennedy vs. Yoel Romero Women's Bantamweight Cat Zingano vs. Amanda Nunes Preliminary card (Fox Sports 1) Bantamweight Dominick Cruz vs. Takeya Mizugaki Lightweight Jorge Masvidal vs. James Krause Welterweight Patrick Côté vs. Stephen Thompson Welterweight John Howard vs. Brian Ebersole Preliminary card (UFC Fight Pass) Lightweight Jon Tuck vs. Kevin Lee Bantamweight Manvel Gamburyan vs. Cody Gibson Background The event was supposed to be headlined by a UFC Light Heavyweight Championship rematch between champion Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson. Jones won their first fight at UFC 165 by unanimous decision. Gustafsson pulled out of the bout due to a torn right meniscus and lateral collateral ligament. He was replaced by Daniel Cormier on July 23. However, on August 12, Jones was forced to pull out of the bout against Cormier citing a leg injury. The fight will now take place at UFC 182. As a result, a Flyweight Title fight between Demetrious Johnson and Chris Cariaso was moved from UFC 177 to anchor this card. The event marks the return of former bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz, after nearly three years on the sideline, first with a coaching assignment on The Ultimate Fighter 15, then with various lengthy injury rehabilitations. He is scheduled to fight Takeya Mizugaki. A lightweight bout between Donald Cerrone and Khabib Nurmagomedov was briefly linked to this event. The pairing was cancelled after Nurmagomedov suffered a knee injury that will sideline him indefinitely. Jorge Masvidal and Bobby Green were originally scheduled to face each other on this card. However, on August 14, the UFC announced that Green would now face Donald Cerrone and Masvidal would face James Krause. On August 19, following his release from Bellator MMA, Eddie Alvarez signed with the UFC and will debut against Donald Cerrone in the co-main event for the card. Bobby Green, Cerrone's earlier opponent, will be booked for a future fight card against a new opponent. |
