The UFC has held multiple cards at the T-Mobile arena but this one is different and will keep the <strong>Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department<\/strong> (LVMPD) on their toes.<\/p>\n<p>The UFC will cover fight week with its popular &#8220;<em>Embedded series on YouTube<\/em>&#8220;. Fans will get a glimpse of the two superstars during their open workouts which are scheduled for Wednesday.

MMA fans will be hoping that nothing goes wrong in the next 6 days and both fighters are able to make weight and settle their beef inside the octagon.<\/p>\n<h2>UFC229: Stacked Main Card<\/h2>\n<p>While McGregor vs. Nurmagomedov is making all the noise, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/mixed-martial-arts\/ufc\">a number of great UFC fights on the main-card<\/a>. The co-main event has received very little publicity as former interim champ <strong>Tony Ferguson<\/strong> will fight <strong>Anthony Pettis<\/strong>. The UFC also has this fight on standby as Ferguson could step into the Main Event and replace either McGregor or Nurmagomedov should anything happen to them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Derrick Lewis<\/strong> will look to redeem himself after a previous poor showing against <strong>Francis Ngannou<\/strong>. Lewis won that fight but it was one of the most boring fights in the UFC. Lewis will fight another Russian in <strong>Alexander Volkov<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The main card will start with fan favourite <strong>Michelle Waterson<\/strong> putting it all on the line against <strong>Felice Herrig<\/strong>. Also on the card is <strong>Ovince Saint Preux<\/strong> (OSP) who will take on the unbeaten and dangerous Dominick Reyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The long anticipated fight between UFC Superstar Conor McGregor and UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is now less than 6 days away.
