On what could prove a banner night, Demetrious Johnson will have to play second fiddle.
An updated poster for October's UFC 216 has the flyweight champ's 11th title defense opposite Ray Borg as the co-main event with an interim lightweight championship bout between Tony Ferguson and Kevin Lee.
Johnson had been slated to vie for sole ownership of the promotion's title defense record earlier this month in UFC 215's headliner, only for Borg to be pulled - and the fight scrapped - due to an illness just a few days prior. The pair were rebooked to square off just last week.
UFC 216 is scheduled for Oct. 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
