UFC releases ‘remix’ of UFC 222 poster with new headliner

Friday, February 9, 2018 - 22:01


Max Holloway is out, and that means Cris Cyborg and Yana Kunitskaya are in.

The women’s featherweight champion and her upcoming challenger take the lead in the updated “remix” poster for UFC 222, which takes place on March 3 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Cyborg and Kunitsakaya were recently announced as the new main event when Holloway suffered an injury that forced him to withdraw from a featherweight title defense against Frankie Edgar that was originally scheduled to close out the show.

Edgar is still featured on the promotional material, though he is now in the co-headliner against fast-rising featherweight contender Brian Ortega.

The real losers of this change are heavyweights Stefan Struve and Andrei Arlovski, who have been removed from the image completely.

You can check out the original, not too dissimilar poster below:
