The main event for UFC Minneapolis was going to be a welterweight showdown between Robbie Lawler and Tyron Woodley. With the news breaking of Tyron Woodley’s injury and having to pull out of the fight, rumors were swirling what would be the new main event for UFC Minneapolis. Today the UFC universe found out the new main event is a Heavyweight Contender Fight between Junior Dos Santos and Francis Ngannou. This heavyweight blockbuster was scheduled for UFC 239 but, with that PPV being absolutely stacked with bouts between Jones vs Santos, Holm vs Nunes and Askren vs Masvidal the UFC high ups made a great call by moving this fight to Minneapolis. Junior Dos Santos and Francis Ngannou both could be one knockout away from a UFC Heavyweight Title Fight!
