Islam Makhachev and Bobby Green are set to clash in the headliner of UFC Vegas 49 this coming weekend. The fight will be a catchweight bout and is scheduled to take place at the promotion's APEX facility in Las Vegas on February 26.
Makhachev was initially booked to fight fellow lightweight contender Beneil Dariush in a No.1-contender's clash at the event. However, Dariush picked up an ankle injury heading into the fight and was forced to pull out. Green has agreed to fill in as a late replacement after having fought at UFC 271 just a week ago.
The co-main event features an interesting middleweight clash between Misha Cirkunov and Wellington Turman.
