What started as a deep 15 -field card, has now lost two fights within a few hours, because another fight only falls out of the UFC 319 for a few days.
The UFC returns to Chicago for UFC 319 the coming Saturday, at the head a middleweight title fight between Dricus du Persis and Khamzat Chimaev.
That is not the only expected fight on the map, although, just like in the Co-Main event, top feedweight prospects Lerone Murphy and Aaron Pico Boting for a potential number one competition place.
In addition to the Blockbuster Main and Co-Main event, fan favorite Michael 'Venom' page returns to action to take on Jared Cannonier, with Fighting Nerd Carlos Prates also on the map.

UFC 319 loses another fight with the map that takes a hit
Prior to the event, fans were worried about the status of Chimaev and whether he would actually reach the event, given his earlier health complications.
Nevertheless, after changing his Vechtkamp, Chimaev apparently worked on his problems and it will come on Saturday evening.
Unfortunately, however, only a few days of the event, the card took a hit because it was announced earlier this Thursday that the fight between King Green and Diego Ferreira is gone due to an injury to Green.
However, that is not the only hit who took the map, as it was reported not long ago by Aaron Brutsteter that the fight between Rodrigo Sezinando and Daniil Donchenko also went out.
Due to an injury, the fight between King Green and Diego Ferreira is rid of this Saturday UFC 319 card and will be moved to a later date, according to the promotion.

Both hunters were planned to make their promotion debut after they had an impression on the respective regional scenes, but the fight will now be rearranged and will take place at a later time.

Although two fights have unfortunately fallen off the card, one fight has been added shockingly to the card with just a few days of cancellation period.
After achieving a flawless victory over the Contender Series of Dana White last Tuesday, Susurkaev Baisangur is said to be ready for the event in addition to his teammate Chimaev.
